Attention drivers! Where lightning traps lurk in Hamburg today!
Current speed cameras in Farmsen-Berne on October 31, 2025: Where speed measurements are imminent and what speed limits apply.
Attention drivers! Where lightning traps lurk in Hamburg today!
Caution is the order of the day again in Hamburg today, October 31, 2025. Mobile speed traps are in use at twelve different locations, encouraging people to hold off on the accelerator a little. If you're not careful, it could quickly become expensive!
Like [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/856463574/mobile-blitzer-d-hamburg-radarkontrolle-aktuell-in-eidelstedt-wandsbek-farmsen-berne-veddel-h amburg-mitte-bergedorf-lohbruegge-wilhelmsburg-hafencity-quartier-elbbruecken-eimsbuettel-where-is-the-lightning-today-on-friday-october-31st-2025/1/) reveals, there are numerous places in the Hanseatic city where speeding can be recorded. Whether in Waltershof, Bergedorf or St. Pauli – these invisible speed monitors lurk everywhere. However, the current danger situation can change constantly, so always keep your eyes open!
Locations of speed traps
The mobile speed traps are active in the following locations:
- Tankweg (21129 Waltershof): 30 km/h
- Bergedorfer Straße (21033 Bergedorf, Lohbrügge): 60 km/h
- Bergedorfer Straße (22111 Horn): 80 km/h
- Tatenberger Deich (21037 Tatenberg): 50 km/h
- A7 (21129 Waltershof): 60 km/h
- Stresemannstraße (20359 St. Pauli): 30 km/h
- A255 (20539 Veddel): 50 km/h
- Hohe-Schaar-Straße (21107 Wilhelmsburg): 30 km/h

Of course, it is important to stick to the speed limits. Not only is traffic safety very important, compliance with the rules is also strictly monitored through such speed cameras. bussgeldkatalog.org explains that the first radar measurements were carried out in 1957 and that this technology has been continuously developed.
The technology behind speed traps
The way these radar traps work is based on the Doppler effect. Radar waves are emitted and reflected by the vehicle. By measuring the frequency shift, the speed can be calculated. If you are also wondering how these mobile devices work, it should be noted that they are often less visible than fixed radar measuring devices and also offer the possibility of creating video recordings.
The current tolerance values are essential: at speeds up to 100 km/h there is a deduction of 3 km/h, while at higher speeds there is a deduction of 3%. These regulations are important in order not to place an undue burden on drivers and to ensure a certain level of fairness. After all, these controls are primarily about traffic education and safety.
Looking outside the box
Finally, it should be mentioned that the discussion about speed traps and their influence on road safety is taking place not only in Germany, but also in other countries such as Austria. The owner's liability applies there, while in Germany the driver's liability is the focus. At this point it is important to keep a better overview of the various regulations internationally.
Since exchange rates also have their own pitfalls, perhaps when exchanging from USD to EUR: The current rate is 1 USD = 0.8677 EUR (as of October 31, 2025, 7:00 p.m. UTC) - information that could be of interest to travelers while they have to navigate through Hamburg traffic.
