Fast vehicles in Leipzig: Mobile speed cameras cause chaos!
Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony, is currently the scene of intensive speed controls. From January 16, 2026, mobile speed cameras will be used on seven streets in the city. This is part of efforts to regulate high traffic volumes and increase safety on the roads. Loud [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/856463223/mobile-blitzer-d-leipzig-radarkontrolle-sachsen-aktuell-in-ost-paunsdorf-nordost-neustadt-neuschoenefeld-po stfiliale-lilienstrasse-schoenefeld-abtnaundorf-thekla-ploesen-suedost-reudnitz-thonberg-reudnitz-substance-where-is-today-on-friday-01-16-2026-gebli/1/) The mobile speed camera locations in the city are strategically chosen.
The speed cameras were reported in various locations between 3:17 p.m. and 6:37 p.m. These include Prinz-Eugen-Straße, with a speed limit of 30 km/h, and Riesaer Straße, where the speed limit is 50 km/h. Further checks took place on Lausener Strasse, Koburger Strasse and several other locations. Road users who do not adhere to the maximum permitted speeds face fines and potential driving bans.
Details about locations and measurement methods
The mobile speed cameras in Leipzig are often operated with different speed cameras, but their locations are usually not announced in advance. However, current information is often available on the radio or online, as bussgeldkatalog.org notes.
There are even different techniques used for speed checks. These include radar systems, laser measuring devices and light barriers that enable precise evaluations of the speed of vehicles. The police use both stationary and mobile controls to ensure road safety. Particular attention is paid to novice drivers, who must expect additional requirements if they exceed the speed limit by 21 km/h or more, such as an extension of the probationary period and participation in an advanced seminar, according to bussgeldkatalog.de.
What is particularly striking is the variety of measurement methods used. In addition to radar and laser devices, there is also the option of section control, in which the speed is monitored over a longer section of the route.
The city of Leipzig has set itself the goal of increasing traffic safety and stopping speeding road users. These measures are considered necessary by the police to create faster and safer traffic conditions in the city.
