How many speed camera vans and fixed cameras are there in Denmark?

ATK camera vans and fixed units

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

As of November 2026 the Danish police run 107 mobile speed camera vans for automatic traffic control (ATK). There are also fixed camera units, called stærekasser, at 11 places in Denmark. The camera measures the speed of every vehicle that passes and takes a photo if it is going too fast. The fine notice is sent to the owner of the car by e-Boks, and if the car was more than 30 % over the limit the owner must say who was driving.

Why

  1. The camera measures every passing car.
  2. No one stops you on the spot.
  3. The owner gets the notice, not always the driver.

Details

The photo can also lead to a fine for a driver without a seatbelt, a handheld phone or a missing number plate.

Tip

In a rental car the notice goes to the rental company, so expect it to pass the fine on to you.

What may differ

The number of vans and fixed sites can change.

Common misconception

The police only check speed with camera vans.

What actually happens

Police also use lasers at the roadside or on motorway bridges and stop drivers further along the road.
