Attention speed cameras! Mobile controls in Allstedt warn of a loss of speed
Summertime is speed camera time! While there seem to be black sheep on the streets in eastern Germany, the police in Allstedt in Saxony-Anhalt are also reporting mobile speed cameras. According to news.de today, on September 26th, 2025, a speed limit of just 10 km/h was enforced between Mittelhausen and Wolferstedt. Some people will ask themselves whether this isn't a bit exaggerated.
The police reported their setup in the area of the A38 at 1:52 p.m. It's not the first time that inspectors have stopped here. It has been shown again and again that speeding is one of the most common causes of traffic accidents, as bussgeldkatalog.org reports. These incidents are part of regular efforts to make road traffic safer.
Speed camera use and fines
Speeding violations can result in traffic offenders receiving fines and points. Speed cameras appear in different forms every day: be it through stationary traffic radar systems or flexible mobile speed cameras. From 21 km/h above the permitted speed, not only 1 point is due, but also a fine of 115 euros. No driver can just shake this off their sleeve.
The common tolerance deductions that are granted with various measurement methods in order to compensate for small measurement errors should also not be underestimated. The police use different technologies, such as radar and lasers, to make the measurements as accurate as possible.
Speed limit and traffic safety
The topic of speed limits always comes up in discussion. Germany currently has no general speed limit on motorways, which is striking in comparison to many European neighbors. According to allianzdirect.de, 71% of Germans express the desire for such a limit. Especially in view of the over 2,800 fatalities in 2023 - according to statistics, excessive speed was the main cause in 43% of cases - a discussion seems more than justified.
Young, risk-taking drivers, especially men with powerful cars, often discuss safe driving behavior. A study shows that many road users regularly exceed the recommended speed of 130 km/h. The police are responding to this with increased controls, even if the fundamental problems remain.
Another item on the agenda is the density of speed cameras and regional differences in speeding. While Brandenburg is ahead with the most points per 1,000 drivers, North Rhine-Westphalia is not far behind with over 900 speed cameras. In Cologne and the surrounding area, it is also advisable to keep your eyes on the streets and perhaps slow down a bit - because lightning systems are always ready to ensure more safety on the streets.
Awareness of speeding and the associated risks is therefore essential - not only for your own wallet, but also for everyone's road safety. So if you're on the road soon, you should stop, take a deep breath and perhaps keep an eye on the speed limit.
