Attention drivers: Mobile speed cameras on the A13 near Lübbenau!

Today, June 30, 2025, the federal police are ensuring increased attention on the A13: A mobile speed trap is located near Lübbenau in the Spreewald, more precisely near Klein Beuchow in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. At 11:53 a.m. the speed camera was put into operation to alert road users to adhere to the speed limit of 60 km/h. Anyone who drives too fast can face severe fines. The Road Traffic Act (StVO) regulates the penalties for speeding, and it's worth keeping your eyes open.

Mobile flash technology offers a certain surprise effect. Temporary speed measurements are possible along the entire motorway, as the authorities have recently been increasingly relying on mobile speed cameras at accident hotspots. The reason for this is obvious: speeding is a common cause of accidents.

Technology and functionality of mobile speed cameras

Mobile speed cameras work differently: They can either carry out speed measurements by following police officers or using laser technology. Does it surprise you that mobile measurement can work without a flash? Modern devices often deliver results without visible flashes, which makes them particularly effective. However, when using such techniques, potential sources of error should be taken into account. Under certain circumstances, uncalibrated devices or inadequately trained personnel can affect the measurement results.

• Toleranzabzug bei Geschwindigkeiten unter 100 km/h: 3 km/h
• Toleranzabzug bei Geschwindigkeiten über 100 km/h: 3 Prozent
• Bei Videonachfahrsystemen: 5 km/h oder 5 Prozent Abzug

The A13 has a total length of 151 km and extends from the Berliner Ring (A10) via the Spreewald triangle to the Dresden-Nord triangle (A4). Despite the few permanently installed speed cameras - there are only two stationary ones on the A13 - breaking the speed limit can be punished with staggered penalties. The catalog of fines provides information about the exact penalties that traffic offenders face.

Monitoring and sanctions

When it comes to speeding, it is often said that the authorities do not hesitate to enforce their rights. Mobile speed cameras are crucial to increasing traffic safety. In addition to the significant fines, there is also a risk of points in Flensburg or even driving bans. Anyone who does not agree with a fine can lodge an objection within 14 days. The written objection should be addressed to the responsible fines office, although it may be worthwhile to hire a lawyer specializing in traffic law.

Anyone driving on the A13 in the future should not only concentrate on good driving behavior, but also adhere to the speed limits - after all, there are many points where mobile speed traps could be set up. Even if the surprise effect is on the side of the speed cameras, it affects the drivers who do not adhere to the regulations. Information about fines, points and driving bans can be found in various tables so that every driver can inform themselves in advance.
