Attention, drivers! Mobile speed camera activated in Wittenförden!
Increased caution is required today in beautiful Wittenförden in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania! Because as news.de reports, targeted speed measurements are underway here. Drivers in particular should be careful, as the use of mobile speed camera trailers equipped with the latest laser or lidar technology could mean a rude awakening for some.
The speed camera, which is positioned in a 30 km/h zone, is located at Großer Hansberg, postal code 19073. Reports of the speed camera were received as early as 9:37 a.m. Drivers who drive a little faster here should be prepared for high fines - after all, such controls are not just about making money, but primarily about road safety.
Types and technology of speed measurement
Why are there so many different types of speed cameras? As bussgeldkatalog.org explains, speeding plays a major role in traffic accidents. For this reason, various measuring methods are used in Germany, including traffic radar systems, laser flashers and even light barrier measuring devices. There are also both mobile and stationary monitoring systems that ensure that traffic rules are adhered to.
The fines that can be imposed for violations also vary with the different speed measurements. If you go too fast at 21 km/h in built-up areas, you can expect a fine of at least 115 euros - if you exceed 70 km/h, the fine can be up to 800 euros, coupled with a driving ban of up to three months. Anyone traveling outside of towns and cities at speeds of 21 km/h or more will face a fine of 100 euros. The detailed provisions can be found in the nationwide catalog of fines.
Legal basis and measurement accuracy
The legal basis for when and where flash photography is permitted are clearly regulated. According to ADAC, it is permitted, among other things, to take speed measurements in bad weather conditions or during the night. The speed can be determined very quickly, even when cornering, because various types of technology – from laser to radar measurements – ensure that the measurements can be carried out quickly and accurately.
Another aspect is tolerance deductions, which are granted when measuring speed in order to compensate for measurement inaccuracies. As a rule, this value is 3 km/h or 3% of the speed, which for many road users can be the decisive difference between a fine or getting through lightly.
All in all, one thing remains clear: whether in Wittenförden or elsewhere – road safety has top priority! Anyone who sticks to the specified speed limits not only goes unpunished, but also actively contributes to a safer traffic situation for everyone. However, if you are in a hurry, you should be aware of the consequences that rapid progress can have. So keep your eyes open when driving and don't get cocky!
