Danger of lightning on the A38: Sangerhausen continues speed measurements!

In the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, watch out today, September 23rd, 2025: Mobile speed cameras are available on the A38 motorway, especially in the area around Sangerhausen and Oberröblingen, to monitor speeding. At 11:08 a.m. the first measurements were taken in a 120 km/h zone, indicating a high risk for fast drivers. According to News.de, the federal police are constantly keeping an eye on traffic in order to ensure safety on the roads ensure.

The A38 motorway stretches 219 km from Göttingen to Naunhof, east of Leipzig, and passes through several cities, including Thuringia and Mansfeld-Südharz. The quick and flexible use of mobile radar devices shows how important it is to respect speed limits and avoid accidents. Speeding is not only a common offense, but also the main cause of traffic accidents.

The speeding violations are punished

But what happens if you overdo it with the gas? Speeding violations can quickly become expensive and unpleasant. A fine is due, whether in town or out of town, if the speed exceeds 26 km/h. With a fine of up to 800 euros and possible points in Flensburg, the cost trap is quickly closed. According to ADAC, there is a nationwide catalog of fines that sets a clear framework for penalties and legal consequences.

In urban areas, the fines for speeding are as follows: up to 10 km/h too fast is 30 euros, while a speed limit of 31 to 40 km/h already costs 260 euros, with a driving ban of two months. The rules look a little different outside of town: Here the fine starts at 20 km/h, and at 41 to 50 km/h it costs 320 euros. Anyone who behaves particularly brazenly and drives over 70 km/h too fast can expect up to 800 euros and a driving ban, as the Bussgeldportal confirms.

Driving ban and more

What effect does a driving ban have? In principle, a driving ban is imposed if the speed exceeds 31 km/h in urban areas and 41 km/h outside of urban areas. The duration is usually one to three months. In addition, repeat offenders face even harsher penalties: anyone who is caught speeding twice within a year must expect an additional driving ban. This shows that traffic-contradictory behavior can be significantly stressful not only for the person affected, but also for other road users.

Overall, every driver should be aware of these rules and always pay attention to the posted speed limits. After all, well-developed roads are not a license for true speeders. Rather, the focus should be on a safe journey - for unadulterated driving pleasure in traffic.
