Attention drivers! Today there is lightning again in Burg – where exactly?

Today, July 15, 2025, it happened in Burg: A mobile speed trap took up position in the Conrad-Tack-Ring (zip code 39288) at 7:15 p.m. The maximum permitted speed in this area is 60 km/h. This approach is part of the comprehensive efforts to improve road safety, which is urgently needed in Germany, as speeding is a frequent cause of accidents. Loud news.de No further speed camera locations have been confirmed in the city so far.

Speed ​​cameras are omnipresent in Germany - be they mobile or stationary. According to the website derbussgeldkatalog.de There are over 4,500 stationary speed cameras that need to be maintained and calibrated at regular intervals. Mobile speed cameras are more flexible and are often used on country roads, motorways and construction sites. They are used with different measurement technologies such as radar, light barriers and laser devices. These measures are not only there to punish misconduct, but also to ensure safety on the roads.

The pitfalls of speed measurement

A particularly interesting point is the tolerance deduction for speed measurements. At speeds up to 100 km/h a deduction of 3 km/h is made, while at higher speeds 3 percentage points are deducted from the amount of the fine. This regulation ensures that car owners are not immediately faced with harsh penalties if they drive slightly over the limit. The catalog of fines also provides a clear overview of the penalties for speeding, which vary depending on the severity of the violation.

Overall, it shows that speeding is a serious issue in Germany. In 2023, 2,839 people were killed in traffic accidents, with speeding accounting for a large proportion of these tragedies. On highways, 43% of accidents had excessive speed as the main cause. Discussion about speed limits is also increasing, with 71% of Germans supporting a speed limit. This discussion is particularly intense because Germany is one of the last countries in Europe without a general speed limit. A poll shows that 39% are in favor of a speed limit of 130 km/h, while 32% support 140-150 km/h.

Road safety remains a key concern and efforts to reduce speeding will continue.

Such figures illustrate the need for action and the need for measures to sustainably improve road safety.
