Attention, drivers! Mobile speed cameras active in Bad Blankenburg!
Today, July 24, 2025, drivers in Bad Blankenburg are under observation. The city has set up mobile speed cameras in Obere Mauergasse (zip code 07422). The speed limit here is 50 km/h and anyone who exceeds this will face heavy penalties. There are already warnings about possible driving bans if you drive too fast. The report about the controls was published at 6:28 p.m. It is important to note that there may be changes in measuring locations throughout the day, which creates an additional challenge for those traveling on the road.
Most people know them, the fixed speed cameras, but today we're talking about the flexible mobile speed cameras that are used for speed monitoring. These devices are not only feared by drivers, they can also be used for distance and red light violations. According to bussgeldkatalog.org, mobile speed cameras are particularly adept at traffic surveillance because they can be used in dangerous locations and often appear without notice.
Mobile speed camera technology
The technology used behind mobile speed cameras is diverse. Whether radar, laser or piezo and light barrier technology – each of these technologies has its own advantages. Another interesting fact: mobile speed cameras can record videos of traffic violations without taking a picture. This preservation of evidence is particularly important in fine proceedings. The driver's face is also recorded, making identification easier in the event of a violation, reports bussgeldportal.de.
In Germany, over 2.7 million speeding violations are recorded every year. What is notable, however, is that 56% of these measurements are incorrect. Correct alignment and calibration of the devices is of utmost importance to guarantee accurate readings. Similar to stationary speed cameras, mobile devices must also be regularly checked for accuracy, which news.de does in detail describes.
Fines and tolerance deductions
Anyone who drives too fast despite the warnings should be prepared for severe penalties. The catalog of fines provides for various consequences for speeding. There is a tolerance deduction of 3 km/h for speeding up to 100 km/h, while 3% is deducted for higher speeds. The focus is on traffic safety: the mobile speed cameras not only serve to control but also to prevent traffic accidents.
In conclusion, it can be said that drivers in Bad Blankenburg are well advised to stick to the speed limit and always drive carefully. It remains to be hoped that the measures actually contribute to improving road safety.
