Blitz action in Paplitz: The speed limit is so dangerous!
Today, September 29, 2025, special attention will be paid to traffic safety in Baruth/Mark. The police in the Teltow-Fläming region are constantly on the hunt for lawns to make the streets safer. A conspicuous speed camera location is Paplitzer Hauptstrasse, where the speedometer was registered at exactly 10:52 a.m. The speed limit on this road is 50 km/h - a speed limit that is more than just a number, but crucial to the safety of all road users.
Speed limits are not just regulations, they primarily serve traffic safety, as the ADAC emphasizes. Whether it's raining, snowing or night, the speed cameras work reliably. If the measurements are carried out professionally, safety on the roads is significantly increased. In Germany, various methods are used - from laser measurements to radar measurements to induction loops. Each of these systems has its own characteristics and requirements.
Temporary speed controls
The speed camera in Paplitz is one of many instruments that the police use to catch traffic offenders and ensure compliance with traffic rules. Temporary speed measurements can take place in the entire Baruth/Mark area, and the location in Paplitz is only the visible part of this police commitment.
It is interesting that deductions are taken into account in the measured values when speeding is exceeded. For speeds below 100 km/h, 3 km/h is deducted, while for speeds over 100 km/h, 3 percentage points are deducted. This is intended to increase measurement accuracy and eliminate misunderstandings. However, certain types of speed cameras can achieve higher deductions because their measurement precision can be limited.
Fines and points
The Bussgeldkatalog.org lists how much the fines for speed limits vary. In the city center, including on Paplitzer Hauptstraße, the following fines apply for speeding:
- Bis 10 km/h: 30 €
- 11 – 15 km/h: 50 €
- 16 – 20 km/h: 70 €
- 21 – 25 km/h: 115 €
- 26 – 30 km/h: 180 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot möglich)
- 31 – 40 km/h: 260 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot möglich)
- 41 – 50 km/h: 400 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot möglich)
- 51 – 60 km/h: 560 € (2 Monate Fahrverbot möglich)
- Über 70 km/h: bis zu 800 € (3 Monate Fahrverbot möglich)
The police are calling on vehicle drivers to stick to the posted speed limits as the penalties can be severe. Anyone who drives 26 km/h or more too fast twice in one year must expect a driving ban - a circumstance that drivers should avoid from the outset.
In fact, it is advisable to always stick to the speed limits in order to minimize your own risk and that of other road users. With this in mind, here’s to a safe journey and a stop-and-go-free day on the roads in and around Baruth/Mark!
