The risk of lightning on the A20: Where today the mobile radar trap is!

Klein Bisdorf, Deutschland - It is June 15, 2025, and drivers on the A20 motorway in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania should be careful. As News.de reported, a mobile radar trap at Klein Bisdorf has been registered in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen since 2:23 p.m. At the moment, the exact speed of speed camera has not yet been confirmed (as of: 3:13 p.m.), but drivers are doing well to keep an eye on their speed to avoid inflations due to fines.

The fines are imposed in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and can vary depending on the severity of the offense. Mobile speed cameras use radar or laser-based technologies that allow a quick check of the speed. It is expected that the mobile devices primarily measure in one direction, that is, from behind they typically take pictures of the vehicles that are on the move too quickly.

The importance of speed traps

speed traps play a central role in traffic monitoring. They not only help to hold speed surgery, but also promote traffic safety in general. As explained Bussmeldkatalog.org , there are around 4,400 fixed radar measuring devices in Germany, while the mobile devices are often used quickly and from unobtrusive positions. The speed is determined by the Doppler effect, which means that radar waves are reflected from the vehicle and the speed of changing the distance between the transmitter and recipient is calculated accordingly.

notices a speedster exceeding, a photo of the vehicle and the driver is taken. Such measures can be decisive, especially in urban areas, where cyclists and pedestrians are often affected. In 2023, more than 2 million traffic accidents were registered in Germany, whereby the number of traffic fatalities increase to 2,839, as the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) reports. An important point that affects us all.

vision zero for more security

In order to combat these alarming numbers, the “Vision Zero” initiative pursues the goal of reducing the racing dead by 40 percent by 2030. The BMDV provides around 15.4 million euros annually. Projects such as "Collision Zero", which uses virtual reality for traffic education, as well as "Kisstra", which focuses on safety on motorways, are part of this strategy. The goal: to improve the transport infrastructure and to better identify danger spots.
