Speeding warning: 13 mobile speed cameras on the move in Hamburg today!

The city of Hamburg is relying heavily on speed controls today, September 2, 2025. A total of 13 mobile speed cameras are active throughout the city. These controls, which are equipped with modern enforcement trailers, use sophisticated laser and lidar technology to precisely detect speeding violations. Drivers must expect a short warning in the form of a flashing red light before their car's digital speed is measured. The city's goal is to increase traffic safety and bring speeding offenders to their senses, especially in sensitive areas such as near schools and retirement homes.

The locations of today's controls include the Billwerder Billdeich, A1 in Moorfleet and Stresemannstrasse in St. Pauli, which serve as showcase locations for speed measurement. Different speed limits of 30 to 80 km/h must be observed in these locations. From 7:15 a.m. on Stresemannstraße the speed limit is 30 km/h, where 57,130 reports were recorded last year - this means that this speed camera maintains the top status in Germany. Individual locations are:

• Billwerder Billdeich (50 km/h, 11:05 Uhr)
• Eilenau (50 km/h, 11:01 Uhr)
• Walddörferstraße (50 km/h, 10:59 Uhr)
• Möllner Landstraße (50 km/h, 10:20 Uhr und weitere)
• A1 (80 km/h, 08:47 Uhr)

Record-breaking revenue from fines

The importance of lightning checks is also reflected in the impressive figures from last year. In 2024, Hamburg generated revenue of 47 million euros from fines from speeding and red light violations, an increase of 3 million euros compared to 2023. This means that the Hanseatic city not only secures first place in the nationwide speed camera ranking, but also receives the “Golden Speed ​​Camera” award from the German Lawyers’ Association.

There are 482 speed camera systems in use in 41 cities throughout Germany, with Hamburg particularly standing out. Large cities like Berlin follow in the ranking with 33.4 million euros and Chemnitz, which received around 7.3 million euros. The income from speed cameras flow directly into the city's coffers and are often used at accident hotspots to further improve road safety.

Effective measures for more security

These measures are part of a broader strategy to increase safety on the roads. After all, 17 cities recorded increasing speed camera revenue last year compared to 2023. Fines collected on mobile devices not only contribute to the city's coffers, but are also a preventative means of disciplining traffic offenders and avoiding accidents. The new mobile speed cameras have proven to be particularly effective and are often used near educational institutions and old people in order to prevent particularly vulnerable groups.

With a clear focus on traffic safety and the consistent implementation of speed controls, Hamburg shows that it has a good knack for both reducing the number of accidents and making a big profit for the city's coffers. If you're driving through the city today, you should be particularly careful about keeping an eye on your speed!
