Overview
- Dresden reported about €8.7 million in 2025 traffic fines, with two rented trailer units contributing roughly €2.1 million after around 47,000 detections.
- City officials say the trailer-based enforcement will expand, with a third unit to be rented by summer under the existing four‑year leasing approach.
- Each trailer costs about €56,000 per year to rent and is typically positioned near schools, care homes, and busy corridors, rotating every six to seven days.
- Authorities logged 16 vandalism incidents involving stickers and spray paint on the trailers, but operations continued without major disruption.
- In Witten, the CDU‑backed traffic committee directed the administration to study buying or renting mobile cameras after NRW legal changes, with costs estimated at €100,000–€150,000 to buy or €8,000–€10,000 per month to rent.
