Attention Stuttgart! Where the mobile speed cameras strike today!
Mobile speed cameras will be available in Degerloch and Stuttgart on June 6th, 2025. Find out more about locations, functionality and security.
Attention Stuttgart! Where the mobile speed cameras strike today!
Today, June 6th, 2025, Stuttgart is once again a hotspot for speed checks, as there are currently three mobile radar boxes in use. These measure speed at different locations, and the positions may change throughout the day or new locations may be added. The current measuring points are on the Haigst in Degerloch, Pragstrasse in Bad Cannstatt and Ulmer Strasse in Wangen. Speed limits of 30 km/h, 40 km/h and 50 km/h apply there, which have already been reported at different times: at 11:49 a.m., 9:45 a.m. and 11:44 a.m.
This information was last updated at 12:59 p.m. Mobile speed cameras have the advantage that they can be used quickly and easily in different locations. These devices use electromagnetic waves or light signals to measure speed. The time between sending and receiving the signal is used to calculate the speed, which enables precise results.
How speed cameras work
Speed camera technology is based on the Doppler effect, which makes it possible to measure the speed of vehicles by reflecting the emitted electromagnetic waves from the vehicles. In Germany there are a large number of radar devices that have to be developed by different manufacturers and approved for use. These devices are available in different colors and shapes and differ in how they work.
If you exceed the speed limit, the radar device takes a photo of the vehicle, which is sent by post along with a fine notice. However, it should be noted that these decisions can be challenged, especially if technical measurement errors occur. Possible sources of error include, among other things, changing lanes during the measurement and unfavorable angles between the vehicle and the radar device.
Special features of mobile radar devices
Some modern radars are capable of operating without a visible flash. They use infrared flashes or black light to capture images, which is particularly advantageous in tunnels as they do not distract road users. Mobile and stationary radar systems are often found on busy traffic routes or in accident hotspots.
The tolerance deductions for speed measurements are also important: at speeds below 100 km/h this is usually 3 km/h. There are even ways to increase the tolerance limit for non-calibrated devices, which in certain cases can be contested through legal action.
The ongoing speed measurements in Stuttgart today underline the importance of road safety and monitoring speed limits to reduce accidents on the city's roads.
