Lightning danger in Ottenbach: Hidden speed trap on Jonenstrasse!
On October 16, 2025, the police in the canton of Zurich are continuously monitoring traffic in Ottenbach. The focus is particularly on speeding, which is one of the most common causes of traffic accidents. In Ottenbach there is currently only one street with a mobile speed trap, which was positioned on Jonenstrasse, zip code 8913 on October 15, 2025. The speed limit there is 50 km/h and the speed camera took the first measurements at 2:49 p.m.
Speeding violations in Switzerland are not without consequences. As News.de reports, the penalties for exceeding the limit in urban areas start at 1-5 km/h with 40 CHF, but without a driving ban. With each additional speed level, both the fines and the likelihood of a driving ban increase. From 25 km/h you may be banned from driving for up to three months.
The fine regulations in detail
Penalties for speeding vary depending on the location and the severity of the violation. In urban areas the fines are as follows:
- 1-5 km/h: 40 CHF, kein Fahrverbot
- 6-10 km/h: 120 CHF, kein Fahrverbot
- 11-15 km/h: 250 CHF, kein Fahrverbot
- 16-20 km/h: Anzeige, Verwarnung
- 21-25 km/h: Anzeige, 1 Monat Fahrverbot
- ab 25 km/h: Anzeige, 3 Monate Fahrverbot
Similar but different penalties apply for out-of-town areas and highways. If you exceed 1-5 km/h you will be charged 40 CHF, while from 30 km/h you will be charged and banned from driving for up to 3 months. Bussgeld-Info.de also reports on the fine framework in Germany, which is often subject to variable penalties depending on the location and severity of the violation.
The Dangers of Speeding
Speeding represents a significant risk for all road users. In Switzerland and Germany, regular checks are carried out to increase road safety. Speed trap systems, which have been in use since the 1950s, use the Doppler effect to precisely measure speed. If you exceed 21 km/h, a point is awarded in Flensburg, while if you exceed 30 km/h or 40 km/h, Bussgeldportal.de mentions a possible increase in fines and driving bans.
It is important to be aware of fines and obey speed limits. In this way, not only fines but also serious consequences for road safety can be avoided. In many cases, the penalties are not only a deterrent, but also serve to protect all road users.
