Danger of lightning in Sachsenheim: There will be checks on Ludwigsburger Straße today!
Today, May 29, 2025, a mobile speed trap in Sachsenheim is causing increased attention on the streets. As news.de reports, the speed camera is located on Ludwigsburger Straße (zip code 74343 in Großsachsenheim) at the level of the Evangelisches Lichtenstern-Gymnasium. The maximum speed allowed there is 30 km/h, which could pose a particular challenge for many road users.
The speed trap report was recorded at 3:20 p.m. today, but the exact location of the speed trap remained unclear until 4:18 p.m., according to the report. Speed controls have a long tradition in Germany to monitor compliance with maximum speed limits. This measure, which has been carried out since 1959, is intended to improve driving behavior and combat the most common cause of accidents, as bussgeldkatalog.net explains.
Fines and tolerances for violations
If you exceed the speed limit, traffic offenders can expect fines, points in Flensburg or even driving bans. The fines depend on the type of violation and the location of the speeding, whether in urban or extra-urban areas. The catalog of fines for intra-local violations looks like this:
| Exceedance (in km/h) | Fine (in euros) |
|---|---|
| until 10 | 30 |
| 11 – 15 | 50 |
| 16 – 20 | 70 |
| 21 – 25 | 115 (1 point) |
| 26 – 30 | 180 (1 month driving ban) |
| 31 – 40 | 260 (1 month driving ban) |
| 41 – 50 | 400 (1 month driving ban) |
| 51 – 60 | 560 (2 months driving ban) |
| 61 – 70 | 700 (3 months driving ban) |
| over 70 | 800 (3 months driving ban) |
The tolerances for mobile speed cameras are also regulated: at speeds below 100 km/h a deduction of 3 km/h is made, while at higher speeds 3 percent of the measured value is deducted. As a result, some speed camera models have lower measurement accuracy, which can lead to higher tolerance deductions, as the information from bussgeldkatalog.org confirms.
Technological background of speed monitoring
Speed cameras use a variety of technologies to measure the speed of vehicles. The most common method is radar measurement, which uses the Doppler effect. With this technology, electromagnetic waves are emitted by the radar system and reflected back by the vehicles. If the speed is exceeded, a photo of the vehicle is taken. There are also alternative speed monitoring methods such as laser devices and video tracking systems that are also used.
There are currently around 4,500 stationary speed cameras in Germany, while mobile speed cameras are primarily used for time-limited checks. These speed checks are a crucial means of improving road safety, with the evaluation of the speed cameras being carried out by the police and regional regulatory authorities. They aim to punish traffic violations and, if possible, prevent accidents, while the income from fines often benefits municipal budgets.
