Speed camera alarm in Vienna: Where the speed cameras strike today!
The lightning continues! Today, October 18, 2025, two mobile speed cameras are once again in use in Vienna, aiming to increase road safety. Visitors to the city should pay particular attention, as there is strong lightning at the following locations.
The first station is at Döblinger Belt in Döbling (zip code 1190), where a speed camera was set up at 11:03 a.m. A speed limit of 50 km/h applies here. A radar device has also been active in Donaustadt, specifically in Raffineriestrasse (zip code 1220, KG Stadlau), and has been active since 9:33 a.m., also with a maximum limit of 50 km/h. It is important to note that the locations of the lightning systems may change throughout the day or additional locations may be added, such as news.de reported.
The technology of radar boxes
From a technical point of view, modern radar boxes use laser measurement, which is hardly noticeable compared to older models, but has a lower measurement tolerance. If the speed limit is below 100 km/h, the tolerance is only 3 km/h. If the limit is over 100 km/h, it is 3% of the speed. The ÖAMTC also appeals that it is all the more important for all road users to adhere to the speed limits oeamtc.at highlights.
The mobile speed cameras can be active in both directions of travel, depending on the respective traffic conditions and the location. Well-known and frequently frequented measuring points in Vienna include the Inner Währinger Belt and the Southeast Tangent, where the risk of accidents is particularly high.
The role of speed enforcement
Speed monitoring not only serves to punish violations, but also has the primary goal of increasing traffic safety and thus reducing accidents. In Austria, the Federal Police is responsible for these measures, while municipalities are also allowed to use private providers in certain cases, such as Wikipedia explained. The switch to new technologies such as lidar systems, which are increasingly replacing radar technology, is very revolutionary.
Although providers and actors often use the argument of road safety, there are also voices that complain that speed monitoring is often carried out for so-called economic reasons. The fines flow into public budgets and cover the costs of monitoring. This raises questions about transparency and the real motives of the controls.
For all road users today the motto is: keep your eyes open and adjust your speed! Because the speed cameras are waiting and traffic safety is the top priority.
