Attention Parchim! Speed ​​cameras on John Brinckman Street today!

Today, July 4th, 2025, is a normal Friday in Parchim, but the road traffic regulations deserve special attention today. A mobile radar box has taken its place on John-Brinckman-Straße (zip code 19370) to increase traffic safety and punish speeding. The speed camera was reported at 6:08 p.m., which underlines that the traffic danger situation is being monitored in real time. Changes to mobile speed cameras can be made at any time to accommodate the constantly changing traffic situation.

With a strict speed limit of 30 km/h, all road users should be particularly careful. Speeding is one of the most common causes of accidents on German roads. The road traffic regulations regulate the measures to be taken in the event of such violations. Anyone who exceeds the speed limit will face a fine, which varies depending on the amount of the speed limit. Particularly important: At speeds up to 100 km/h there is a tolerance deduction of 3 km/h, while at higher speeds a deduction of 3 percentage points is made before the fine is applied, as news.de reported.

The technology of radar systems

But what is actually behind these mobile speed cameras? They use radar to measure the speed of vehicles. A transmitter emits a signal that is reflected by the vehicle to calculate the current speed. If the speed limit is exceeded, a photo is taken, which is later sent to the driver along with a fine notice. The main task of these radar systems is to punish traffic violations and at the same time significantly increase traffic safety, as explained on bussgeldkatalog.de.

Mobile or stationary – that is the big question here. We often see stationary systems at accident hotspots, while mobile lightning systems can be used more flexibly and in different locations. This dual strategy ensures that drivers consistently adhere to the applicable speed limits, which is beneficial for all road users.

A look at Austria and Switzerland

Compared to our neighboring countries, the handling of radar systems is different. In Austria, for example, there is an anonymous decision, where only the vehicle owner is informed. In addition, modern radar systems can also take front photos. In Switzerland, lightning systems are mostly mobile and often fully automated. They transmit photo evidence to headquarters in real time, making it much easier to evaluate violations.

Conclusion: Compliance with speed limits is not only a question of duty, but also a question of safety on our roads. Stay alert and respect the traffic rules, as this is the only way we can all travel safely.
