It should have been activated a long time ago. But now you finally can get speeding tickets in the Storebæltsbroen.
Motorists can meet speed cameras many places in Denmark. The police have both stationary speed cameras, a number of speed cameras different places and now also speed traps on the Storebæltsbroen.
The equipment that measures the average speed should really have been installed a long time ago. But now it is here.

– The new traffic restrictions came into effect at the beginning of November 2023, says Sund & Bælt’s communications manager Lene Gebauer Thomsen.
The speed control stretches over 16 kilometers from Knudshoved to the payment booth in Halsskov. But even though the stretch is divided into three zones, motorists should only expect to get one speeding ticket.
The speed cameras are marked in yellow. This should make them more visible to motorists. It is the first time that a check of motorists’ average speed in this way has led to stalls in Denmark.
But at the South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police, to whom Sund & Bælt sends the photos of the speeding drivers, it is stated that they have already received 50 cases. There are also plans to introduce a similar control in the Øresund Tunnel towards Sweden.
