Danger! Mobile speed cameras in Schmiden: How to avoid fines!
On May 23, 2025, Fellbach will be particularly vigilant about speeding. The city is now under intense traffic surveillance as mobile speed traps are deployed in various areas to increase road safety. A speed trap was currently reported at 8:25 a.m. on Butterstrasse (zip code 70736, Schmiden), where a speed limit of 30 km/h applies. The potential consequences of speeding could include fines and even driving bans, which should encourage drivers to exercise caution. News.de reports that the speed camera location could not yet be confirmed at the time of the report.
The location of mobile speed cameras is constantly changing, which is why drivers should be vigilant. In Germany, mobile speed cameras can be deployed quickly in places where speed limits are often violated. These mobile monitoring devices work similarly to stationary speed cameras by using electromagnetic waves or light signals to measure the speed of potential speeding offenders.
Legal basis and fines
The regulations in Germany that penalize speeding are set out in the Road Traffic Act (StVO) and the catalog of fines. Fines vary depending on the severity of the violation. For example, exceeding the speed limit by more than 21 km/h is punished with a fine of EUR 70 and one point in Flensburg. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 41 km/h, you face a fine of up to EUR 160, two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban. Repeated offenses within 12 months can also result in a driving ban. DerBußgeldKatalog.de makes it clear that concern about speeding violations is particularly high at construction sites and dangerous places such as intersections and sharp curves.
There are over 4,500 stationary speed cameras installed in Germany that require regular maintenance and calibration. These stationary speed cameras, often referred to as “box” speed cameras, supplement mobile speed enforcement by being positioned on highway bridges. Mobile speed cameras, on the other hand, can be used flexibly and can stand on the side of the road or document violations while driving.
The overview of speed camera locations is updated regularly, but some data may be out of date. For this reason, it is advisable to always drive carefully and keep an eye on the applicable speed limits in order to avoid fines and other legal consequences. Predictive behavior in road traffic contributes to the safety of all road users.
