Speed ​​camera day in Neuruppin: There is lightning here today! Start traffic checks!

Today, June 13, 2025, the police are on the streets in Neuruppin with three mobile speed cameras to carry out speed checks. The exact locations of these speed cameras were reported early this morning and they will pose a serious challenge to motorists.

The speed cameras are at the following locations:

• Artur-Becker-Straße (Bütow, PLZ 16816): Hier ist eine mobile Radarfalle seit 07:31 Uhr aktiv, mit einem Tempolimit von 30 km/h.
• Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße (PLZ 16816): Die Überwachung wurde am 06:05 Uhr eingerichtet, hier gilt ein Tempolimit von 50 km/h.
• L 16 (PLZ 16816): Blitzeraktivität wurde um 08:05 Uhr gemeldet, auch hier sind die Fahrer gebeten, die Geschwindigkeit von 80 km/h nicht zu überschreiten.

Relevance of speed controls

These controls are not just an annoying side effect of road traffic; they are an important instrument for the safety of all road users. The Road Traffic Act (StVO) stipulates that speeding can result in high fines. Anyone who drives too fast must expect strict sanctions, which are anchored in the catalog of fines.

What many drivers don't know: radar detectors and speed camera apps are banned in Germany while driving. These devices provide information about speed camera locations, but could also interfere with speed measurements - making their use illegal. A violation can be punished with a 75 euro fine and one point in Flensburg, as Bussgeldkatalog makes clear. The owner of such devices must therefore carefully consider whether it would be better to inform themselves in good time before getting into the car, as speed camera reports can of course be obtained before setting off.

Speed ​​measurement techniques

The measurement techniques used in these speed controls are diverse. From radar and lasers to light barriers and video tracking systems - the police have different tools at their disposal to ensure that road safety remains guaranteed. However, these methods must be calibrated regularly and operated by trained personnel. This is the only way to ensure the legal validity of the measurements, points out Rechtecheck. Documenting the measurement protocols is also essential, as road users should also be able to see their numbers whenever possible.

So if you drive on the streets of Neuruppin in the next few days, be careful: the mobile speed cameras are on the lookout and it is important to observe the speed limits. Your safety and that of other road users is our top priority!
