Lightning alarm in Hamburg: Over 7 hotspots for speed checks!
Things are happening in Hamburg! On October 14, 2025, there will be an increased risk of speed cameras at a total of seven points in the Hanseatic city. Whether in Altona, Harburg or St. Pauli, drivers should be careful because the speed controls could strike at any time. Thanks to mobile speed cameras, which are currently active again.
The list of speed camera locations provided by [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/856463574/mobile-blitzer-d-hamburg-radarkontrolle-aktuell-in-altona-lurup-harburg-sinstorf-har vestehude-kirchdorf-wilhelmsburg-hamburg-mitte-borgfelde-st-pauli-karolinenviertel-where-is-the-lightning-on-monday-10-13-2025/1/) provided shows where things can get particularly tricky:

Rules and fines
A good tip for all road users: Speed is the be-all and end-all! Because speeding not only results in a smile from the police, but also hefty fines. According to derbussgeldkatalog.de, the penalties can be quite expensive:
- 21 km/h zu schnell: 70 EUR und 1 Punkt in Flensburg
- 26 km/h zu schnell: 80 EUR und 1 Punkt in Flensburg
- 41 km/h zu schnell: 160 EUR, 1 Monat Fahrverbot und 2 Punkte in Flensburg
You should expect speed cameras, especially on construction sites and in dangerous areas such as sharp curves. The mobile devices are very flexible and can be used on country roads, motorways and at construction sites. The speeding cars on the side of the road can also detect speeding while driving.
Technology against speeders
Whether with radar, light barriers or laser devices – the measuring techniques for mobile speed cameras are diverse. [News.de](https://www.news.de/auto/856463574/mobile-blitzer-d-hamburg-radarkontrolle-aktuell-in-altona-lurup-harburg-sinstorf-har vestehude-kirchdorf-wilhelmsburg-hamburg-mitte-borgfelde-st-pauli-karolinenviertel-where-is-the-lightning-on-monday-10-13-2025/1/) informs you that radar warning devices and speed camera apps are banned in Germany. According to Section 23 Paragraph 1b of the Road Traffic Act, drivers are not allowed to operate or carry any electronic aids to display or disrupt traffic surveillance.
Another point that drivers should keep in mind: In Germany there is no general speed limit on motorways, only a recommended speed of 130 km/h. If you exceed the speed limit outside built-up areas, the maximum speed limit is 100 km/h. This should always be taken into account the next time you travel through Hamburg so as not to fall into the dreaded lightning trap!
