Attention speed cameras! That's how dangerous it is on Wilhelmshaven's streets today!

Attention, drivers! Today, November 18th, 2024, your driving style could become expensive! In Wilhelmshaven, the mobile speed cameras are flashing and anyone who drives too fast must expect high fines and even a temporary driving ban. The current information shows that a mobile radar box has been set up in the inner harbor and speed checks can take place at any time throughout the city.

The speed camera has been in the Südstrand area (zip code 26382) since 7:54 a.m., where only 30 km/h is allowed. However, this location has not yet been officially confirmed. Drivers should be aware that speeding is still the most common traffic violation in Germany and is the main cause of many accidents. It is essential to adhere to speed limits to ensure the safety of all road users, especially cyclists and pedestrians.

High fines for speeding violations

The Road Traffic Act (StVO) regulates the penalties for speeding and sometimes provides for high fines. Running red lights or following too closely is also punished severely. Drivers should be aware of the consequences because the fines can quickly add up.

Tolerances in speed measurements

When it comes to speed measurements, there are tolerances that apply to both mobile and stationary speed cameras. Usually 3 km/h is deducted from the measured speed if it is below 100 km/h. At higher speeds it is 3 percent. So be careful and stick to the speed limits to avoid unpleasant surprises!
