Lightning alarm in Bautzen: Where the speed is controlled today!

The traffic situation in Bautzen has changed today, August 12th, 2025. At 8:16 a.m., a mobile speed camera was set up on Outer Lauenstrasse specifically aimed at speeding. There is a strict speed limit of 30 km/h, which is a challenge for many drivers. Caution is therefore advised as speed camera locations can change throughout the day and exceeding the speed limit can quickly become expensive.

As the Regionalspiegel Sachsen reports, there is a clear catalog of fines for speeding in Germany, which provides for the following penalties for inner-city journeys:

  • Bis 10 km/h: 30 €
  • 11 – 15 km/h: 50 €
  • 16 – 20 km/h: 70 €
  • 21 – 25 km/h: 115 € (1 Punkt)
  • 26 – 30 km/h: 180 € (1 Punkt, 1 Monat Fahrverbot bei erneuter Überschreitung über 25 km/h innerhalb eines Jahres)
  • 31 – 40 km/h: 260 € (1 Punkt, 1 Monat Fahrverbot)
  • 41 – 50 km/h: 400 € (2 Punkte, 1 Monat Fahrverbot)
  • 51 – 60 km/h: 560 € (2 Punkte, 2 Monate Fahrverbot)
  • 61 – 70 km/h: 700 € (2 Punkte, 3 Monate Fahrverbot)
  • Über 70 km/h: 800 € (2 Punkte, 3 Monate Fahrverbot)

Raise awareness of speeding

Drivers who are unclear about the rules should note that speeding doesn't just result in fines. There can also be a risk of points in Flensburg, which in the worst case can lead to a driving ban. What is particularly worth emphasizing is that even from 31 km/h in urban areas, the first violation can have serious consequences. In such a case, punishments and consequences can quickly add up, as the ADAC describes in detail.

A one-month driving ban can be imposed for speeding above 26 km/h outside of urban areas. Drivers are often only informed of the violation through a hearing form, which is why it is important to regularly check their own speed. Speeding violations of up to 15 km/h often result in a fine.

Measurements and reliability of speed cameras

The measurement accuracy of speed cameras is always discussed. A study by Der Bußgeldkatalog shows that 56% of speed measurements are incorrect. This can be due to outdated devices as well as uncalibrated laser measuring devices. If you consider that around 25% of fine notices are incorrect, drivers should not bury their heads in the sand when a violation occurs. An objection to the decision may be worthwhile if there are reasons for it.

Conclusion: Drivers in Bautzen should make a special effort today to adhere to the speed limits in order to avoid severe penalties. Anyone who drives with foresight not only has a better gut feeling, but also stays on the road without any problems - a good hand is required here!
