New cameras on the Zoobrücke
Two new fixed cameras on the Zoobrücke went live on 5 February 2026, one near Auenweg and one near Rheinpark. They check the 50 km/h limit in both directions and run on fuel cells, because the bridge has no power supply. The old cameras there had been out of service since 2014.
Cameras on the city motorways
On the B55a towards Autobahnkreuz Köln-Ost, between Buchforst and Höhenberg, the city added a fixed camera at an accident hotspot where 80 km/h applies.
On the A4 at the Eifeltor bridge the city has measured towards Olpe since 18 December 2025 on behalf of Autobahn GmbH, linked to roadworks before the Köln-Klettenberg junction. Fixed cameras for both directions of the Herkulestunnel (towards the A57, 50 km/h) are planned for the end of 2026.
On the A3 at the Heumarer Dreieck a laser camera covers all three lanes towards Oberhausen.
Fixed and mobile checks in Cologne
For mobile checks the city has 9 radar vans, 13 semi-stationary units and more than 2,400 measuring points, and publishes a list of possible mobile sites rather than a weekly plan.
How Ghost helps in Cologne
Ghost warns you before fixed speed cameras, known mobile speed traps and average-speed sections in Cologne, with a sound and on the dark map, also while your navigation app is in front.
