Speed ​​camera warning in Ottakring: In use today – 30 km/h speed limit!

Today's speed controls are a hot topic in Vienna, especially for drivers in Ottakring. Mobile speed cameras are active on the streets and were positioned early in the morning, at 5:22 a.m. As news.de reported, a speed camera was located in Julius-Meinl-Gasse (zip code 1160) where the speed limit is set at 30 km/h. These shiny devices may be on one side of the road, but woe betide anyone who drives over the limit!

However, the tolerances of mobile flash units should not be underestimated. For laser measurements up to 100 km/h a deduction of 3 km/h applies, while at higher speeds 3% is deducted. Speed ​​cameras are generally a bit more generous, with typical deductions of 5 km/h or 5%. However, there may be differences depending on the region - in Upper Austria, for example, a tolerance of 5 km/h has been permitted in urban areas since 2018.

What can drivers expect?

Drivers should therefore think carefully about how they get around. Particularly in Vienna's dense city traffic, stopping at such a control unit can quickly become expensive. Adhering to speed limits is not only a legal requirement, but also protects other road users.

It is particularly important that you do not allow yourself to be blinded on the winding roads in our city. If you drive too fast, the influence of traffic signs can quickly fade into the background. Therefore: keep your eyes open and not only pay attention to your speed, but also keep an eye on the rest!
