Attention, drivers: There is lightning again in Güterfelde today!
Today, October 29th, 2025, road users in Cologne and the surrounding area have another reason to slow down their speed. Because in Stahnsdorf there is lightning at a **currently reported location**: on the L40 in Güterfelde, zip code 14532. This was announced at 9:29 a.m. The speed limit here is **80 km/h**, and as we know, speeding is a frequent cause of accidents, which can not only affect drivers' budgets, but also endanger road safety. An appeal to everyone: stick to the limits and adapt your driving style accordingly news.de strongly recommends.
The use of speed cameras in Germany to monitor speed is nothing new. Mobile and stationary speed cameras are used every year, not only on motorways, but also on country roads and at construction sites. What is particularly striking is the flexibility of mobile speed cameras, which can be set up quickly and used at any time to punish speeding. In contrast, stationary speed cameras, also known as “box” speed cameras, are far less flexible as they require regular maintenance. According to derbussgeldkatalog.de, there are over 4,500 stationary speed cameras in use in Germany.
Fines: A look at the regulations
What are the penalties if you get caught? The fines for speeding outside of urban areas can add up to a lot. Here is an overview:
- 21 km/h zu schnell: 70 EUR Bußgeld und 1 Punkt in Flensburg
- 26 km/h zu schnell: 80 EUR Bußgeld, 1 Punkt, mögliches Fahrverbot
- 41 km/h zu schnell: 160 EUR Bußgeld, 2 Punkte, 1 Monat Fahrverbot
In addition, repeated violations within 12 months are also not without consequences - there is also a risk of a driving ban.
Where does lightning strike often?
Speed cameras are particularly common at construction sites, intersections and sharp curves. The traffic safety authorities rely on every road user to know and respect the regulations. Even if there is no general speed limit on motorways, most speed limits are clearly stated: 100 km/h on federal roads outside built-up areas and 50 km/h in these areas. Let's all follow the traffic regulations to avoid accidents and reach our destination safely.
An important note on the side: Fine notices can be challenged within 14 days of receipt. Legal skills are required here if the circumstances of the violation are not clear.
The relevance of traffic measures such as speed controls should not be underestimated, as they are an important part of traffic safety. The focus is on improving the traffic situation and reducing the number of traffic accidents. So, dear readers, show a good hand when driving and simply make it safer for your fellow human beings on the road!
