Radar controls in Leipzig: Where speed cameras strike today!

On January 19, 2026, the city of Leipzig reported that mobile speed cameras were being used in several places to hold traffic offenders accountable. Leipzig is the largest city in Saxony and suffers from a high volume of traffic. Stationary and mobile speed cameras are active in the city to check compliance with the road traffic regulations (StVO) and to punish administrative offenses. The adjustments to the lightning locations are necessary because the danger situation in road traffic can constantly change, which could result in further lightning attacks.

The current speed camera locations in Leipzig on January 19, 2026 include the following points:

• Paunsdorfer Straße (04316 Ost, Mölkau): 50 km/h, gemeldet am 19.01.2026, 18:55 Uhr

Administrative offenses and consequences

The use of speed cameras is an essential part of traffic surveillance. Violations of traffic rules can not only result in fines, but also points in the driving fitness register and driving bans. The catalog of fines for violations was updated in 2025/2026 and shows a system that categorizes different serious violations.

Violations that do not endanger safety usually result in fines, which, however, are not entered into the fitness to drive register. For more serious violations that pose a risk, 1 point will be recorded in the register as well as possible driving bans for repeated violations within 12 months. Points can also expire depending on the severity of the offense - after 2.5 years for 1 point, after 5 years for 2 points and after 10 years for 3 points.

Current lightning locations and information

In the past, the city has not always announced the locations of mobile speed cameras in advance. However, current information is usually available on the radio or online. The regular speedy checks in and around Leipzig aim to increase traffic safety and minimize administrative offenses.
