Speeders beware! These speed cameras are flashing in Stralsund today!

In Stralsund today it's all about speed camera-free driving - at least for those who stick to the speed limits. On July 18, 2025, mobile radar cases will be used twice again to increase safety on the roads. As is well known, one of the most common causes of accidents is speeding.

The current speed camera locations were reported at 7:42 a.m. on Bleichen (zip code 18435) in Knieper, where the speed limit is 30 km/h, and at 7:54 a.m. on Greifswalder Chaussee (zip code 18439) in Süd, at 50 km/h. These positions can vary throughout the day, which means keep your eyes open on the road!

Fines and driving bans – the consequences for speeders

The consequences are crisp, especially for those who overdo it with the pace. According to merkur.de, speed camera-related photos can result in painful fines and even driving bans. If you exceed 26 km/h you will be banned from driving for a month, and the fines will vary depending on how much you exceed. If you exceed the speed limit of 21 to 25 km/h in the city, you will have to pay 115 euros. It can cost a sensational 800 euros for those too brave speeders who drive more than 70 km/h too fast.

And that's not all - the points in the traffic offenders' register are another nuisance that is added to the fines. Aggressive drivers can be banned from driving for a maximum of six months.

Traffic monitoring – safety comes first

Traffic monitoring has the clear goal of increasing safety on the roads. Not only the police are responsible for this, but also the traffic authorities and municipalities. These measures include observing and recording traffic as well as prosecuting administrative offenses and criminal offenses. Speed ​​monitoring is a central part of these efforts, as bussgeldkatalog.org shows.

In parallel to mobile surveillance, stationary speed cameras are also in use, but they are less effective because many drivers already know their locations. However, mobile radar systems are most often used to effectively detect speeders in moving traffic.

Another aspect that needs to be taken into account are the technical aids that can influence behavior in traffic. The road traffic regulations (StVO) prohibit the carrying of devices that disrupt traffic monitoring measures. Speed ​​camera detectors and laser jamming devices may not be used. But don't worry, speed camera apps on your cell phone are allowed as long as you don't use them while driving.

Compliance with traffic rules is the responsibility of every driver. Ignoring speed limits can have serious consequences - not only for your own wallet, but also for the safety of all road users.

So it remains to be seen how drivers in Stralsund react today. If you stick to the speed limit, you can drive safely - and avoid both fines and potential dangers. But if you value speed above all else, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise today.
