Mobile speed cameras in use: Where controls are carried out in Gelsenkirchen today!

On January 4, 2025, today, speed checks using mobile speed traps will take place again in Gelsenkirchen. According to a report by news.de The speed cameras are active at several locations. These include Hohenzollernstraße in the Gelsenkirchen-Mitte district, where a speed limit of 50 km/h applies, and Theodor-Otte-Straße in Gelsenkirchen-West, where the speed limit is 30 km/h. Hohenzollernstrasse was reported as a lightning location at 6:54 p.m., while Theodor-Otte-Strasse was announced at 5:46 p.m.

The danger situation in road traffic is dynamic, so that adjustments to mobile speed cameras are possible. Speeding is a common traffic violation and the leading cause of traffic accidents. The fines for speeding violations can be significant.

Regulations for radar warning systems

Furthermore, some regulations regarding the radar warning devices and speed camera apps used in traffic must be observed. These devices are prohibited in cars, while the use of smartphones and navigation apps is permitted as long as the speed trap warning function is deactivated. Paragraph 23, paragraph 1b of the Road Traffic Act (StVO) regulates this regulation.

The site offers a comprehensive overview of lightning locations in Germany derbussgeldkatalog.de. According to the research, Germany has over 4,500 stationary speed cameras, which are often used on motorways, but also flexibly on country roads and construction sites. Measurement technologies for mobile speed cameras include radar, light barriers and laser devices. Speeding fines can vary; For example, going 21 km/h too fast is punishable by EUR 70 and one point, while going 41 km/h too fast can result in a driving ban of 1 month and 2 points.

In connection with the set speed limits, it should be noted that nationwide there is a maximum speed of 100 km/h on federal highways outside built-up areas, while there is no general speed limit on motorways. However, it makes sense to stick to the recommended speed limits of 100 to 130 km/h in other European countries.
