Attention, speed camera alarm! Four radar boxes active in Hamburg today!
Today, June 15, 2025, road users in Hamburg are facing a special challenge. There are currently four mobile radar boxes in use in the Hanseatic city, which are designed to punish speeding and other traffic violations. The constant movement of mobile speed cameras is a particular challenge for drivers, as the positions of these measuring points can change during the day. This measure was initiated by news.de in order to increase road safety.
Mobile speed cameras are used for a reason. According to bussgeldkatalog.org, they are particularly effective at detecting dangerous traffic violations such as speeding, running red lights and distance violations. While stationary speed cameras can often be avoided by drivers who are familiar with the area, the flexible use of mobile speed cameras allows them to be positioned specifically in dangerous areas. They use various technologies, including radar and lasers, to make precise measurements.
Fines and penalties at a glance
There are painful consequences for speeding. High fines are often the result, and these fines vary depending on the extent of the violation. The Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) regulate exactly what sanctions can be expected for violations. The new regulations since 2025 provide for a well-thought-out points system: one point for serious violations, up to three points for particularly serious acts. After reaching eight points, things get serious: your driver's license is in danger. Stricter rules apply, especially during the probationary period, and some violations result in driving bans.
According to a recent VUT study, 56% of fine notices are incorrect, which doesn't really help drivers when they are involved in a speeding violation. If a faulty speed camera is suspected, those affected can lodge an objection within 14 days. The zuschnell.org points out this possibility and even offers expert advice for an initial assessment.
Traffic safety through the use of speed cameras
The assessment of traffic law experts shows that the use of mobile speed cameras not only serves as punishment, but also as prevention. Drivers are required to not only keep an eye on speed, but also to generally follow traffic rules. This seems to be a challenge in Germany, as speeding is one of the most common traffic violations.
A lightning appeal to deactivate the warning functions in navigation apps while driving and to avoid external radar detectors - these are illegal in Germany and result in not only fines but also points. The advice remains to always keep a cool head and keep an eye on the road traffic regulations.
In Hamburg it is time to drive carefully and patiently follow the traffic regulations. The coming weeks and months will show what changes the mobile radar boxes will bring to the city. Ultimately, the key to road safety lies in the hands of all road users.
