Attention drivers! Today there is lightning in distress - top speed 50 km/h!
Today, September 26, 2025, the streets in Ludwigslust are once again about more than just speed. A mobile speed camera is active today. This measure not only serves to punish speeding violations, but is also used to increase road safety and prevent accidents. Speed checks can take place throughout the city, with police and regulatory authorities carrying out both mobile and stationary surveillance to check compliance with speed limits, as it is [news.de].
The mobile lightning control is currently set up at a central point, the Unter den Eichen street in the Kummer district. A speed limit of 50 km/h applies here. A final notice of the control measures was released at 6:29 a.m. this morning. These controls are an important tool for detecting dangerous speeding, as fast driving often leads to accidents.
What drivers should pay attention to
It is advisable to stick to the applicable speed limits. The catalog of fines provides for clear penalties for speeding. In urban areas, even small speed limits of up to 10 km/h can be punished with a fine of 30 euros. Additional penalties can be imposed for higher speed violations, which can be up to 800 euros and a three-month driving ban, as bussgeldkatalog.de and bussgeldkatalog.org explain.
But it's not just the fines that can surprise. Drivers should also be aware that they risk points in Flensburg, especially if they exceed the speed limit by 21 km/h as a novice driver; This is then considered a serious violation and can result in participation in an advanced seminar.
Speed control techniques
The speed cameras use various technologies such as radar systems, laser measuring devices or light barriers to precisely measure speed. These instruments partly work with electromagnetic waves and partly measure the time it takes a vehicle to pass through certain beams of light. Sensors in the road surface are also used to take other measurements.
The aim of speed controls is clear: to increase road safety and prevent accidents. Setting up speed display boards is often an important step in increasing drivers' attention, but such or even dummy speed cameras are not allowed to be set up in public spaces.
Overall, today's radar control in Ludwigslust shows how seriously the authorities take road safety. Drivers are well advised to follow traffic rules and, above all, strictly adhere to speed limits in order to avoid expensive fines and dangerous situations.
