Attention Schorndorf: Danger of speed cameras in Oberberken today!

On June 6, 2025, drivers in Schorndorf are particularly encouraged to keep an eye on their speed. There will be speed cameras today on Wangener Straße, which is in a 30 km/h zone. This measure aims to increase road safety and avoid fines or driving bans due to speeding. News.de reports that the list of measuring points is not complete and may change throughout the day. The last update was at 8:44 a.m. today.

In order to avoid any unpleasant surprises in traffic, drivers should also be familiar with the tolerances for flashing. For mobile speed cameras, the tolerance deduction is 3 km/h for speeds below 100 km/h and 3 percent for higher speeds. These deviations are important to take into account, as different measurement accuracies of the radar devices can occur.

Fines for speeding

The penalties for speeding are clearly regulated in Germany. Bussgeldkatalog.org lists the fines for in-town and out-of-town areas. Within built-up areas, speeding speeds of up to 10 km/h can result in a fine of 30 euros, while speeding speeds of 31-40 km/h can result in a fine of 260 euros and a one-month driving ban. In extreme cases, if the speed exceeds 70 km/h, drivers must expect a fine of 800 euros and a driving ban of three months.

• Bis 10 km/h: 30 €
• 11-15 km/h: 50 €
• 16-20 km/h: 70 €
• 31-40 km/h: 260 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot)
• Über 70 km/h: 800 € (3 Monate Fahrverbot)

The catalog of fines provides for similar measures for speeding outside built-up areas, although the fines tend to be higher here. Speeding restrictions are not just a question of money, they can also have a significant impact on driving privileges.

Driving bans and road safety

In Germany, the road traffic regulations (StVO) apply, which contain very strict regulations for punishing speeding. A driving ban is generally imposed from 31 km/h in urban areas and 41 km/h outside of urban areas. Driving at a speed of 31-40 km/h in urban areas can result in a driving ban for a month, which can severely impact individual mobility. In addition, speeding is the most common cause of accidents in Germany. Statistics show that in 2015, around 47,024 traffic accidents resulting in personal injury were due to failure to maintain appropriate speeds.

Drivers are therefore advised to always adapt their speed to the traffic situation and to be particularly careful when checking the speed limit. Ultimately, speed cameras, like the one in Oberberken, not only serve to ensure compliance with regulations, but also to ensure general safety on the roads.
