Danger of lightning in Vienna: Mobile radar control on Brigittenauer Lände!
Mobile speed cameras will be in use in Brigittenau on September 20, 2025. Road users should observe speed limits.
Danger of lightning in Vienna: Mobile radar control on Brigittenauer Lände!
A small flash of lightning in Brigittenau is currently attracting attention from road users in Vienna. A mobile speed camera has currently been registered on Brigittenauer Lände in the zip code 1200. Speed control takes place in a zone with a limit of 70 km/h. The report about the speed camera was published on September 19, 2025 at 11:13 a.m., so drivers should be prepared to reduce their speed. It is important to be considerate of cyclists and pedestrians and stick to the speed limit to not only avoid fines, but also to ensure the safety of all road users, such as News.de reported.
Brilliant innovations in road safety
But what do the new radar boxes have to offer? The ÖAMTC emphasizes that these devices are positioned in particularly dangerous places, which should significantly improve road safety. Many of these new speed cameras use more precise laser measurement. These models differ little visually from the conventional ones, but they come with a lower measurement tolerance: for a speed limit below 100 km/h the tolerance is only 3 km/h, while for limits above 100 km/h it is 3%. These innovations aim to monitor compliance with traffic rules more closely and force drivers to be more careful, as OEAMTC.at reports.
A few well-known lightning locations in Vienna are the Inner Währinger Belt, the Southeast Tangente (A23) and the Floridsdorf Bridge. These locations were chosen to prevent accidents and speeding.
What is the legal situation?
It is also good to know that owner liability applies in Austria. This means that the vehicle owner, rather than the driver, is held responsible for the speed. This is particularly important when it comes to avoiding fines. And the revenue from the fines flows into traffic control and infrastructure - a double win for safety on our roads. According to Bussgeldkatalog, the technology used in radar cases can also make video recordings, which makes checking speeding violations much easier.
The city of Vienna also relies on a mobile concept: the radar boxes constantly change their location. This is not only due to the different traffic conditions, but is also intended to prevent drivers from adjusting to fixed speed camera locations and possibly intentionally driving too fast if they believe they are not subject to any control.
But regardless of the controls, it's always worth keeping an eye on speed. Ultimately, not only drivers, but all road users benefit from greater safety on the roads. The fatigue of the measurement results shows that radar-tight monitoring is a central tool for improving traffic discipline.
