Speed ​​cameras in Tharandt: That's how dangerous speed controls are today!

Today, July 23, 2025, there is important news for drivers in Tharandt and the surrounding area. A mobile radar box ensures increased attention on Seerenteichstrasse in Grillenburg, where the maximum speed limit is 40 km/h. The speed camera location remains unconfirmed as of now, as reported by News.de. Traffic monitoring is intensified by such speed cameras in order to detect dangerous speeding, which is considered the most common traffic violation in Germany and often leads to accidents.

Mobile speed cameras are a flexible traffic monitoring tool. They can be set up at different locations and use different measurement technologies such as radar and laser. The measurements are usually very accurate, and some models can also work without a visible flash to avoid distractions. In addition, there are now also black light speed cameras that are specifically used in tunnels. These technologies help to increase road safety and promote compliance with speed regulations, as Bussgeldkatalog.org emphasizes.

Fines and points – these are the consequences

Drivers should be aware that speeding can not only result in high fines, but also points in Flensburg and possibly driving bans. The fines are set out in the nationwide catalog of fines. In urban areas, fines can range from 30 euros to 800 euros, depending on the amount of the violation. For example, if you exceed the speed limit by 21 to 25 km/h, a fine of 115 euros will be due, while if you exceed the speed limit by 51 to 60 km/h, you will be fined 560 euros and a two-month driving ban, as the [ADAC](https://www.adac.de/verkehr/recht/bussgeld- points/schnellsueberschreitung/) reports.

And what happens if you get “caught” using speed cameras? Drivers often only find out about a possible violation through a hearing form. A fine is usually offered for speeds exceeding 15 km/h, while more serious violations can result in a hearing and the possibility of an appeal. At a certain point, for example if you exceed the speed limit by over 26 km/h, you can expect a one-month driving ban.

Temporary driving bans and tolerance deductions

It is important to know that tolerance deductions apply to mobile speed cameras: Up to a speed of 100 km/h, 3 km/h is deducted, at speeds over 100 km/h it is 3% of the measured value. These regulations are intended to ensure that there are no unjustified penalties and are applied in most cases. Nevertheless, as already mentioned, speeding is a classic traffic violation and can quickly lead to serious consequences, especially in a densely trafficked area like Tharandt.

Road safety is important to all of us. Therefore, every driver should have a good knack for sticking to the posted speed limits. Remember: watch your speed because there will be lightning!
