Speed camera alarm in Niemegk: Observe the speed limit of 30 km/h on Waldstrasse today!
Today, September 16, 2025, traffic safety is of course the focus in Niemegk, in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, Brandenburg. Here the police are active with a mobile radar control on the forest road [news.de]. The speed camera was reported at 6:15 a.m. and the speed limit here is only 30 km/h. All the more reason to stick to the speed limits, because speeding is not only a common traffic violation, it is also the main cause of accidents.
The continuous monitoring of road traffic by the police is by no means a shot in the dark, but rather follows clear guidelines, as adac.de explains. These guidelines apply to both the locations of speed cameras and the various speed measurement methods used. From laser measurements to radar measurements to induction loops – the technology is sophisticated and ensures that speeding violations cannot be swept under the table.
The importance of speed limits
Why are speed limits so important? The answer is simple: they serve road safety. In Germany, different speed limits apply depending on the type of road and vehicle type. In urban areas, a maximum of 50 km/h is generally permitted, while outside of built-up areas the limit is 100 km/h for cars up to 3.5 t, as bussgeldkatalog.org notes. There is no general speed limit for light cars on motorways unless appropriate traffic signs specify this. The recommended speed is 130 km/h. It goes without saying that compliance with speed limits is not only crucial for your own wallet, but above all for the safety of all road users.
Fines and points in focus
How much does it cost if you lose speed? The fines are staggered and vary depending on the violation. In urban areas, even the slightest speed limit of up to 10 km/h will result in a fine of 30 euros. If the speed exceeds 26 to 30 km/h, it can be expensive for the driver - up to 180 euros are due and, in the worst case, there is a risk of a one-month driving ban. If you go over 70 km/h, you usually try to stay off the road for several months, because the fines here are high and amount to up to 800 euros, as the catalog of fines shows.
It is important to be aware that the amount of the fine depends not only on the speed driven, but also takes into account the repetition of violations. Speeding 26 km/h or more twice within a year can result in a driving ban. Therefore, it is not only wise to keep an eye on speed, but it is also worth considering taking the relevant traffic signs seriously at all times.
The police will continue to be active on the roads in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district to monitor traffic volumes and ensure greater road safety. So stay alert and stick to the speed limits - not just for fear of a fine, but also for everyone's safety.
