Speed ​​camera alarm in Bitterfeld: Today the speed limit is 30 km/h on Alte Straße!

Today, June 25, 2025, an important speed monitoring will take place in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. A speed camera was activated at a fixed location on Alte Straße, with the zip code 06766 in Bobbau. Authorities reported the speed camera location as early as 7:02 a.m., and the latest report at 8:01 a.m. indicates that speeding remains a widespread problem. These violations are not only common, but also the main cause of traffic accidents in Germany, as news.de emphasizes.

The speed limit at this location is 30 km/h. These strict rules are intended not only to increase road safety, but also to raise awareness of one's own speed. Anyone who does not comply with this must expect high fines based on the road traffic regulations (StVO). It is important to know that there are tolerance deductions when measuring speed. For example, as the ADAC informs, at speeds below 100 km/h a deduction of 3 km/h is made from the measured value, while at speeds over 100 km/h 3 percent is deducted.

Rules and penalties for speeding

The tolerance control is particularly relevant when you consider that different speed camera models can have different measurement accuracies, which in turn can lead to higher tolerance deductions. For mobile speed cameras, the deduction can even be up to 20 percent if the special measuring systems are not used. The Bussgeldportal also points out that at least 56 percent of fine notices are challenged due to errors.

The fines can start from 60 euros, and the fee for the fine procedure is at least 28.50 euros or 5% of the fine. There are particularly high penalties for trucks over 3.5 tons, which differ significantly from the catalog of fines. For cars with trailers, the speed limit is limited to 80 km/h, although speeds of 100 km/h are only permitted with a special sticker.

Obligations and consequences for repeat offenders

Speeding is particularly serious when you consider that points are awarded in Flensburg if you exceed 21 km/h. If you generally exceed the speed limit by more than 30 km/h (in urban areas) or 40 km/h (out of urban areas), you will receive two points and a driving ban. Repeat offenders can be given a driving ban even for minor violations if they have been caught speeding at least 26 km/h twice within a year.

However, there is an option for first-time offenders to handle the driving ban more flexibly, as they can choose when the ban begins within four months. However, it is absolutely forbidden to drive any motor vehicle on public roads during a driving ban.

All in all, it is up to each individual road user to respect the speed limits and behave responsibly on the road. It can't hurt to take a look at your own driving style - who knows, maybe you'll soon get a bouquet of flowers instead of a fine!
