Mobile speed trap in Othal: This is how dangerous flashlights are today!
On June 25, 2025 it will be that time again: the police in Saxony-Anhalt will ensure more safety on the roads with a mobile speed trap. As News.de reports, the mobile speed trap will be installed today at 8:02 a.m. on Riestedter Straße in Othal, zip code 06526, placed in position. The speed limit there is 70 km/h, which is an important regulation for many road users.
Road traffic in the region is monitored continuously. Temporary speed measurements can also be expected on Riestedter Straße. These measures are part of efforts to improve road safety and prevent accidents. As explained on Bussgeldkatalog.de, speed checks are a proven means of checking compliance with the prescribed speeds.
Fines and tolerances
The police use various technologies to do this, including speed traps and laser measuring devices. If drivers exceed the speed limit, they will be asked to pay immediately. The catalog of fines specifies exactly how high the penalties will be, which can vary greatly depending on the violation:
| Exceeding (in town) | Fine (€) | Points | Driving ban |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 km/h | 15 | 0 | no |
| 11 – 15 km/h | 25 | 0 | no |
| 16 – 20 km/h | 35 | 0 | no |
| 21 – 25 km/h | 80 | 1 | no |
| 26 – 30 km/h | 100 | 1 | 1 month |
| 31 – 40 km/h | 160 | 2 | 1 month |
| Over 70 km/h | 680 | 2 | 3 months |
The tolerance rule states that up to 3 km/h tolerance is deducted from speed measurements if the speed is below 100 km/h. At higher speeds the tolerance value is 3 percent. This means that small deviations can occur due to the measuring accuracy of the devices, as Bussgeldkatalog.org points out.
Conclusion
Regardless of whether the weather is nicer or not, respecting speed limits should always be your first priority. The mobile flash units not only help to avoid fines, but above all to increase road safety. Anyone who follows the traffic rules has no problems with the law and contributes to the safety of all road users.
