Speed ​​camera campaign on A9: where you are not allowed to drive too fast today!

Berg, Thüringen, Deutschland - Today on July 1, 2025, drivers along the A9 are well advised to keep an eye on their pace. Mobile radar boxes are set up in two places that could cause a stir, especially in the coming hours. The positions of these measuring points can change during the day, so there is constant attention. At 3:22 p.m., flashes in a 120 km/h zone at the market gate in the Kulmbach district (Bavaria). Previously, at 1:09 p.m., at Berg / Göritz (Saale-Orla-Kreis, Thuringia), speed overruns are recorded in a 100 km / h zone. According to news.de Streets.

The Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and the catalog of fines regulate the corresponding measures in the event of violations of the speed limits. Exciting to know: speed camera apps and radar warning are completely prohibited while driving in Germany. This means that a smartphone can be used, but all warning functions in navigation apps must be deactivated. Positive aspect: speed camera warnings on the radio are allowed, which means that our drivers are better in the picture and also have the opportunity to adapt their speed in good time.

The importance of traffic monitoring

Monitoring with radar primarily serves to secure traffic safety. It is about getting drivers to drive compliant in accordance with the rules in order to minimize violations of traffic law. Data from Bussgeldkatalog.org show that in 2013 over 5,000 drivers received points due to speed overruns, accompanied by fines and partially driving bans. It is exciting that mobile and inpatient radar devices can be used differently in the respective zones, with a whopping 6 million euros in fines in Bielefeld, for example, in Bielefeld in 2010.

does the question remain how exactly these measurements actually work? Radar devices use the Doppler effect for the speed measurement, and a photo is taken in the event of an exceedance, which is usually later sent to the vehicle owner. A tolerance control is important here: at speeds under 100 km/h, the deduction is 3 km/h, over 100 km/h at 3 percent. Of course, measuring errors can also happen, for example due to incorrect angles or reflections. It is therefore possible to obtain an objection to fines, especially if the evidence photos are not optimal.

statistics and behavioral patterns

But what about the behavior of the drivers? An analysis by [Allianzdirect.de] (https://www.allianzdirect.de/kfz-versicherung/statistik-der-verkehrt deskte-deutschland/) shows that men between the ages of 25 and 44 particularly often violate speed provisions. In 2023, over 3 million traffic violations of men were recorded, while women only listed a little below one million. This shows that it is not only about your own security interests, but also a social responsibility - because good traffic discipline protects everyone.

in Berlin and Hamburg, for example, there are high rates of speed violations, especially in closed towns. Factors such as geographical location or demographic structures influence the frequency of violations. It becomes clear: the topic of speed controls remains an important topic for all road users.

The A9, which leads in the north-south direction of Berlin via Leipzig and Nuremberg to Munich, remains one of the central traffic arteries in Germany with a total length of 530 kilometers. Regular checks are therefore essential to ensure security on our streets.
