Speed ​​camera action on the A8: Attention, speed offenders near Augsburg!

Today, October 26, 2025, things could get busy again on the A8 near Augsburg. The federal police have set up speed measurements at two locations to ensure that road users adhere to the speed limits. As news.de reported, speed cameras were already at 8:48 a.m. and 9:54 a.m sighted and it is to be expected that mobile monitoring will also take place at other points along the motorway.

The A8, one of the oldest motorways in Germany, stretches from the Luxembourg border near Perl to the Austrian border near Salzburg and has a total length of 505 km. Traffic is regularly monitored by speed cameras, especially near construction sites, which are often encountered. Information about these and other speed camera locations and the corresponding fines can be obtained at bussgeldkatalog.org.

Focus on speed limits

Compliance with speed limits is not only a legal requirement, but also increases safety on the roads. Excessive speeds are one of the most common causes of traffic accidents. As can be seen from the Road Traffic Act (StVO), violations can result in severe penalties, which vary depending on the severity of the offense. Violations are consistently punished, and the police use both stationary and mobile speed cameras to identify speed offenders, as bussgeldkatalog.net notes.

Mobile measuring devices enable flexible monitoring. In Munich and the surrounding area, speed cameras can be set up quickly and efficiently at different locations. The measurement methods vary, from radar to laser to induction loops, which are only used when a vehicle drives over them. However, some speed cameras are prone to errors, which can be caused by poor installation or improper operation.

Report if things are happening too quickly

Monitoring is not just preventative. Anyone caught speeding will face fines if they ignore the maximum speed limit. The tolerance deductions for speed measurements are also relevant: at speeds below 100 km/h the deduction is 3 km/h, while at higher speeds 3% is deducted. But as always: it's better to be safe than sorry!

It is advisable to pay attention to the traffic signs and to find out about current traffic information. These can be accessed via traffic information systems. After all, you can never drive too safely!
