Attention, speeders! Mobile speed cameras in Uelzen catch the speed offenders!

September 14, 2025 has a few surprises in store for drivers in Lower Saxony! In Uelzen, more precisely in Kirchweyhe, Westerweyhe, a mobile speed camera was set up today to monitor the speed of road users. If you stick to the applicable speed limits, you can have no worries. But fare evaders and speeders have to face consequences.

The speed camera is positioned in Festplatzweg, zip code 29525, where the speed limit is 50 km/h. According to the latest reports received today at 1:20 p.m., road users should definitely stick to the posted speed limits. The mobile speed camera not only serves to monitor speed, but also contributes to increasing traffic safety.

A look at the technology

The speed trap is a proven traffic monitoring tool. A lot has changed since the first test measurement in January 1957. Today there are around 4,400 permanently installed radar measuring devices in Germany, which are used either stationary or mobile. Mobile speed cameras – like the one used today in Uelzen – are particularly flexible and can often be positioned in parked cars or on tripods. They work with the so-called Doppler effect: radar waves are emitted and reflected by the vehicle, which enables precise speed measurement.

It is also interesting that if you exceed the speed limit, a photo of the vehicle and the driver is taken. The goal is clear: to bring speeders to their senses and increase the feeling of safety on the roads. In Germany, driver liability applies, which is why front radar devices are increasingly being used to precisely document violations.

Fines and traffic safety

The fines for speeding are not negligible. Anyone who drives too fast must expect severe penalties, which not only go into the wallets of traffic offenders, but also into the development of the infrastructure. According to the information, the income from fines increases road safety and makes an important contribution to traffic education.

Road users should therefore know exactly what to expect if they ignore the speed limit. Key tolerance values ​​must be taken into account: Up to a speed of 100 km/h, 3 km/h is deducted, while at faster speeds 3% is deducted. So in Uelzen the motto is: open your eyes and adjust your speed!

Overall, it shows that mobile speed cameras, as in today's case, are an important means of increasing road safety and punishing speeding. Let’s all rely on safe roads!
