Attention drivers! Speed camera alarm in Cologne: Where there are speed cameras today!
In Cologne today, September 15th, 2025, people are paying particular attention. Mobile speed cameras are available at two locations in the city to record drivers' speeding. The police in North Rhine-Westphalia are constantly striving to increase road safety and prevent accidents, and speed cameras are often found in places where the risk is particularly high, such as busy intersections or narrow streets.
Today there are two hotspots where the speed limit is closely monitored. There is a speed limit of 80 km/h on the B55 in Kalk, Höhenberg. The speed camera there was activated at 12:49 p.m. However, anyone who is in Nippes, more precisely on Geldernstrasse, should also be careful. The speed limit here is only 30 km/h, and this speed camera has also been on the lookout since 8:44 a.m. The police have increased traffic monitoring controls here in order to show a good hand in preventing speeding, explains News.de, which is following the controls ( News.de ).
Fines for speeding
The consequences for violators cannot be ignored. In inner-city areas, fines can be severe depending on speeding. From 30 euros for speeds of up to 10 km/h up to 800 euros and a driving ban of three months if you exceed 70 km/h - you can start to sweat ( bussgeldkatalog.org ). The following are the most important fines in town:
- Bis 10 km/h: 30 €
- 11 – 15 km/h: 50 €
- 16 – 20 km/h: 70 €
- 21 – 25 km/h: 115 € (1 Punkt)
- 26 – 30 km/h: 180 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot)
- 31 – 40 km/h: 260 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot)
- 41 – 50 km/h: 400 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot)
- 51 – 60 km/h: 560 € (2 Monate Fahrverbot)
- 61 – 70 km/h: 700 € (3 Monate Fahrverbot)
- Über 70 km/h: 800 € (3 Monate Fahrverbot)
The measurement is carried out using modern flash units that use various technologies. In addition to classic radar systems, laser-based measuring devices are also used that use light pulses to determine the speed of the vehicles. These measuring methods not only check compliance with speed limits, but also help to increase road safety, as can also be read in various reports on speed controls ( bussgeldkatalog.de ).
The tolerance limits
Another detail that drivers should keep in mind are the tolerance limits, which are also taken into account when measuring speed. At speeds below 100 km/h the tolerance is 3 km/h, while at higher speeds it is 3% of the measured speed. This means that speed monitoring also has strict rules and does not just work at will ( bussgeldkatalog.org ).
