Danger of lightning in Fedderwarden: Attention, speed control!
In Wilhelmshaven today, June 16th, 2025, special attention will be paid to the speed of road users at a regularly used speed camera location. Speed measurements were taken today at 5:55 p.m. on Lange Straße in the Fedderwarden district, where the speed limit is 50 km/h. These mobile speed cameras are faster and more flexible than fixed systems and are often used on tripods or in parked vehicles. Electromagnetic waves or light signals that register the speed of the vehicles are responsible for the measurements, as reported on news.de.
Such speeding is not only a minor violation of the road traffic regulations (StVO), but also the most common cause of accidents on our roads. The increase in traffic accidents makes it clear that comprehensive controls are necessary to improve the traffic safety situation. According to the statistics from Destatis, there is comprehensive data on the road safety situation, which provides a broad basis for measures in road traffic legislation and education.
Road safety in focus
The use of mobile speed cameras is becoming increasingly important to ensure effective control of traffic flow and speed. Since fixed speed camera systems are often less intimidating for drivers who are familiar with the area, mobile speed cameras are a welcome addition. Clear speed limits are necessary to avoid accidents, especially in times when road construction sites and other sources of danger such as flooding are part of everyday traffic. There are currently no specific reports on hazard types related to speed camera monitoring, but caution is advised as obstacles on the road, such as car parts or tires, can also appear unexpectedly, as highlighted on verkehrslage.de.
The current controls are not only a measure against speeding, but also an important element in our city's traffic management. Such lightning campaigns are essential with the aim of having a positive influence on accident statistics and raising awareness of safe driving. Road users are encouraged to pay attention to speed limits not only to avoid fines, but more importantly to ensure the safety of themselves and other road users.
