Be careful, speed cameras! That's how dangerous it's going to be in Hamburg today!

Today, November 9th, 2025, the usual picture is once again emerging at numerous intersections in Hamburg: mobile speed cameras are in use and the police are striving to increase traffic safety in the city. There is now an increased risk of encountering a radar trap at five locations in the Hanseatic city. The [news.de]. reports that continuous monitoring of road traffic is of utmost importance for all road users.

According to the information from bussgeldkatalog.org, the non-stopping speed measurements continue to take place throughout Hamburg. Drivers who are negligent about speed limits face severe penalties. Driving too fast is one of the most common traffic violations in the city. Studies show that the effectiveness of speed cameras is particularly high and is even higher than in other large cities such as Berlin or Munich.

The locations of today's speed cameras

The police have planned predictive, temporary speed measurements at various points in Hamburg. The exact locations often remain secret, but drivers today should pay particular attention to the speed indicators. It's better to drive carefully - after all, anticipatory driving behavior increases the safety of all road users, be they drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. Fines and possibly driving bans are already on the agenda for speeders and harassers.

The police in Hamburg act consistently to put a stop to speeding and to continually reduce the risk of accidents. This makes speed cameras an integral part of the cityscape. A new type of mobile speed camera was also recently tested, which should further increase the efficiency of the surveillance system.

Do speed cameras also offer opportunities?

Since the discussion about traffic monitoring has gained momentum, supporters of speed cameras have also had to ask themselves whether they don't also make people think. The bussgeldkatalog.org has provided a detailed overview for those affected, which enables them to object to fine notices. Many drivers have the chance to explain their point of view and possibly avoid the penalty.

So while the police are doing everything they can to regulate vehicle behavior in Hamburg, it remains to be seen how the new technology will change the speed camera landscape. Could more transparency in measurements create a path to relaxation?
