Attention, speed camera on the A12: This is how you avoid expensive fines!

For drivers who are traveling on the A12 motorway, October 19, 2024 is a special warning: the pace should be chosen carefully, because mobile radar controls are in use. In a section in particular, it can be expensive if the speed is exceeded.

Currently at Spreenhagen, more precisely at Hartmannsdorf in the Oder-Spree district, a speed camera is positioned that pays attention to a top speed of 80 km/h. This message was transmitted in the morning at 8:15 a.m., and in the afternoon until 3:11 p.m. this was the only known control point.

What are mobile speed camera?

Mobile flashing differs significantly from permanently installed devices. These flexible radar devices can be set up quickly and easily. They are often assembled on tripod or parked in vehicles that stand on the side of the road. The technology used is usually based on electromagnetic waves or light signals. These signals are reflected by the vehicle and return to the measuring device. The speed of the vehicle is calculated from the time difference between sending and receiving.

The aim of these lightning campaigns is not only the collection of fines, but rather the improvement in traffic safety. The police appealed to all road users to adhere to the prescribed speed limits to protect themselves and others.

The A12 at a glance

The Bundesautobahn 12, which is also known as a freedom motorway, extends from Berlin to the German-Polish border near Frankfurt (Oder). With a total length of 58 km, starting at the Berlin Ring, it is part of a crucial traffic axis in Germany and forms a connection to the Polish Autostrada A2.

For those who are on the road on this highway, it is advisable to always be attentive and to consider the speed limits. A current violation can not only lead to a fine, but also endanger the security of the passengers. I would also like to remove reminders that the Catalog of Fine of Road Traffic Regulations in Germany provides for clear regulations for overrun speeds, so that each violation can result in corresponding consequences.

Mobile speed monitoring serves the security of all road users. It is therefore advisable to adapt the speed to the current conditions and to follow the regulations.
