Mobile speed camera on the A72: where you now have to drive carefully!

On Sunday, October 20, 2024, an intensive speed monitoring is underway on the A72 motorway in Germany. Mobile speed cameras are positioned in various areas along the route to persuade traffic offenders to comply with the speed boundaries. These cycling devices are intended to increase traffic safety and in particular monitor critical sections where frequent lawn is observed.

Currently in Saxony, more precisely in the Heinersgrün region (Vogtlandkreis), two mobile speed cameras are in action. The first message was made at 2:53 p.m., and another speed camera was found on the same day in Hartenstein/Zschocken (Zwickau district), where a speed limit of 130 km/h applies. This position was reported at 12:39 p.m. It should be noted that the list of speedboards is subject to constant changes, so that the information does not guarantee the permanent presence of the flash units.

Information about the flash locations

The locations of both flash units have been updated in real time, so that drivers who are on the A72 are always informed. In the Hartenstein region in particular, a strict adherence to the speed of speed is advised to avoid fines and possible driving bans. The last update of the flash location was at 3:14 p.m.

The function of mobile speeds differs greatly from permanently installed devices. These flexible devices can be set up quickly, which means that they can be used in different locations. In many cases, the system works similarly to stationary versions, whereby electromagnetic waves or light signals are sent out and the vehicle speed is calculated by the time difference between the broadcast and reception.

fines in the case of speed overrun

According to the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) in Germany, transmissions and punisations of speed overrun are precisely regulated. Various penalties for speed violations, as well as for violations of traffic signs, such as traffic lights and distance, are listed via a defined table. Since driving above the permissible speed can not only be dangerous, but also expensive, it is advisable to keep an eye on the respective top speed.

The A72 motorway itself extends from Hoff (triangle Bavarian Vogtland) to Chemnitz and currently ends at Espenhain. The section between BAB 9 and BAB 4 is part of Europastraße 441 and continues to be expanded. The last construction phase is expected to be completed by 2026.

For updated information on speed monitoring and traffic situations, it remains important to go to official traffic communications such as www.news.de to pay attention.
