Speed cameras in the Wittenberg district: 36 drivers are caught!
Another look at traffic safety: Speed checks in the Wittenberg district were the focus of law enforcement on July 15, 2025. Several locations were checked to make it clear to drivers that compliance with traffic rules is non-negotiable.
The checks were carried out at three different hot spots, specifically chosen because of their frequent use by vehicle drivers. At these locations, the authorities have collected important data about driving behavior and thus increased road safety.
Results of the controls
The initial results show that there is still a need for action. 490 vehicles were measured on the B 2 near Köpnick. Of these, 36 drivers did not adhere to the maximum permitted speed of 70 km/h, with the highest speed measured even being 110 km/h. The control officers also found similar numbers in Pratau, where 29 violations were recorded out of 1,323 vehicles measured. Here some speeders broke the 128 km/h mark.
The inspection on the BAB 9 between Dessau-Ost and Vockerode was particularly impressive, where a whopping 6,072 vehicles were registered. There were 87 violations at a maximum permitted speed of 120 km/h, with a peak speed of 199 km/h. These high speeds are alarming and highlight the need for such road safety measures.
The technology behind the controls
It is not always clear to many people how speed control works. They not only serve to punish violations, but also to improve traffic safety. Various techniques are used that are used by the police and regional regulatory authorities. The most common methods include radar measurements, laser measuring devices and even modern video tracking systems.
These controls have been an integral part of German road traffic since the 1950s and typically take place at danger spots or busy intersections. Depending on the severity, there are various sanctions for disorderly conduct, which are recorded in the catalog of fines. While stricter rules apply in urban areas, there are also special regulations for out-of-town areas, which can amount to between 20 and 800 euros, depending on the violation.
An appeal for honesty
The inspectors are calling on all road users to always keep an eye on their speed and to adhere to the existing rules. Because your own safety and that of other road users often only depends on the correct behavior in traffic. The police have a good knack for taking the necessary measures to improve road safety in order to ensure smooth and, above all, safe traffic.
These controls are a clear indication that speeding is taken seriously. Regular monitoring is a step in the right direction to prevent accidents and make roads safer.
