Jena (13.04.2026) – Drivers in northern Jena must ease off the accelerator today. On Monday, police are conducting mobile speed checks in the rural districts of Kunitz and Laasan to increase road safety.
Radar Controls on Narrow Local Roads
According to current reports from traffic authorities and the police, mobile speed cameras were set up during the morning in Kunitz and the neighboring Laasan. Drivers should be particularly attentive in these areas and strictly adhere to the applicable speed limits. Experience shows that police often position their measuring devices at points with poor visibility or in direct proximity to pedestrian crossings and stops to effectively slow down speeders.
The roads in these village-structured districts are often narrow. Excessive speed poses a significant risk here. Traffic checks in these residential areas primarily serve accident prevention and the protection of vulnerable road users.
Background: Why are speed cameras being used in Kunitz and Laasan?
Kunitz and Laasan are idyllically located at the foothills of the Hufeisen at the base of the historic Kunitzburg. Due to the dense village architecture and the popular cycling and hiking trails to the Saale, many excursionists, cyclists, and families are out and about here, especially in spring. The risk of accidents increases significantly if vehicles ignore local speed limits.
The police generally advise: Adapt your driving style not only to the road signs but always to the current traffic situation. Anyone who still falls into the radar trap today must expect noticeable sanctions. Exceeding the limit by as little as 21 km/h in urban areas can result in a heavy fine, a point in Flensburg, and a one-month driving ban.
