Attention, Raunheim! There is lightning on Mainzer Strasse today!

Current traffic monitoring in Raunheim: Today, June 12th, 2025, a mobile speed trap will be used on Mainzer Straße (zip code 65479). This was reported by news.de at around 7:27 a.m. In this zone there is a speed limit of 30 km/h, which makes typical speeding the most common cause of accidents on German roads.

Although the location of the speed camera has not yet been officially confirmed, drivers should be on their guard. It is important to note that the traffic enforcement situation can constantly change. In Germany, speed checks are a crucial means of ensuring road safety, especially in out-of-town areas. Stationary and mobile speed cameras, as reported by derbussgeldkatalog.de, are used both on motorways and at construction sites to punish speeding.

The penalties in detail

What happens if you drive too fast? The fines for speeding can be quite expensive: if you exceed 21 km/h you will be fined 70 euros and one point in Flensburg. If you drive 26 km/h too fast, you have to expect 80 euros and other consequences, while if you drive 41 km/h over the speed limit, the fine increases to up to 160 euros and two points. In addition, repeated violations can result in a driving ban within 12 months, which is likely to put additional pressure on many drivers. bussgeldportal.de makes it clear that the specific punishment always depends on the extent of the excess.

The consequences are particularly drastic when speeding during the probationary period. A so-called A violation occurs at speeds of just 21 km/h, which can have unpleasant consequences for novice drivers. Repeat offenders must take their driving bans particularly seriously, as if they commit just two 26 km/h violations within a year, they will immediately have to surrender their driving license.

Technical challenges and regulations

Technical devices in road traffic are also a hot topic. In Germany, devices that warn of speed cameras are banned. This also applies to smartphones: They may not be switched off, but warning functions in navigation apps must be deactivated. According to news.de, speed camera warnings are still permitted on the radio, which means that a certain degree of orientation remains possible.

Drivers can look forward to the coming weeks, as mobile traffic monitoring will certainly continue in other regions of Hesse. So if you don't want to get caught in the net of fines, you should pay more attention to your speed - because the topic of speed monitoring remains a current and important concern for all road users.
