Danger of lightning in Alsleben: This is how sharp the mobile speed camera is checking today!
Welcome to Alsleben, where there will be an innovation in speed monitoring today, November 9th, 2025. Since 3:04 p.m. there has been a mobile speed trap at Sprint in Wiesenbergstrasse (zip code 06425). And that means for all road users: keep your eyes open, because there is a speed limit of 10 km/h here.
The mobile speed trap is a hot topic, not only in Alsleben, but far beyond. The exact procedures and exact location of the speed cameras have not yet been finally confirmed. Therefore, it remains exciting to see where the officers could be lying in wait throughout the city. In general, speed controls are possible throughout Alsleben, so it's better to drive a little slower to be on the safe side.
Speed limits and their meaning
Speed limits promote road safety and everyone can rely on that. As ADAC explains to us, the requirements for lightning locations are set by guidelines. There are strict rules for speed measurements that also apply in different weather conditions such as rain or snow. Yes, speed checks are permitted even at night, even if the flash is not always visible.
In Germany we use different methods to measure speed: laser measurements, radar measurements and induction loops. Each of these procedures has its own advantages and possible uses. But don't worry, these measurements aren't arbitrary; They all have to be technically checked and approved beforehand to ensure that everything is done correctly.
Measuring procedure in detail
The laser measurement method, in which laser beams are emitted to determine the speed of vehicles, is particularly popular. The beams are reflected by the vehicle and sent back, which enables the speed to be precisely calculated. Alternatively, radar measurement uses the Doppler effect to determine the speed. Induction loops, in turn, work through changes in the magnetic field and can also record speeds. It's exciting to know how much technology goes into these checks!
Speed enforcement requirements vary from state to state. Minimum distances between traffic signs and measuring systems often have to be maintained, which can be between 150 and 200 meters depending on the region. But there are also exceptions, such as in schools or dangerous areas, where these distances do not necessarily have to be maintained.
One last point that we shouldn't leave unmentioned: the fines! The amount of the fine depends on how much you exceed the speed limit. The nationwide catalog of fines ensures that the penalties are clear and comprehensible, so that in the event of a violation, everyone knows what to expect.
So it remains exciting to see what happened in Alsleben today. If you stick to the speed limits, you can continue driving in a relaxed manner - and the others should be more careful, because the speed camera could snap at any time!
