There are three autonomous communities that take the palm

In Spain the DGT watches traffic with fixed radars, section radars (Some of them In full installation process), Mobile radars and Pegasus. To these devices we can add the surveillance cameras or the work of the agents aboard vehicles, vans and even camouflaged motorcycles.

Of all those devices, the most controversial generate are the Velolaser mobile radars (because their small size prevents guessing before going through them) and the situation of mobile radars. These, assures the DGT, are located where it is understood that they are more necessary for drivers to lift the accelerator’s foot and reduce the accidents.

However, we also know that there are hundreds of empty boxes distributed throughout the territory and that are used to move radars. The box, whether or not it is in operation, is already enough to make the driver suspect and reduce the speed.

Where are the radars that put the most fines

With the data that the DGT is making public, Associated European motorists (AEA) Punctually update the list with the radars that impose the most fines over a year. As confirmed to ourselves, the data has a certain delay because traffic does not update them promptly at the end of each exercise.

Therefore, those shown here are the radars that more fines imposed In 2023, the last year of which you have data. In spite of everything, we know that in total these 50 cinemometers added 3,355,287 complaints. The figure is 9.4% less than the year 2022 (3,704,675 sanctions) but the growth of some radar is observed that for the first time must have been working at full performance in the same place.

This conclusion can take it out because the growth of some speed controllers has been 500% compared to the figure of 2022. In addition, we also know that almost one in four fines that are imposed in Spain arrive from these radars. In total, they made 1,245,053 sanctions, which represents 38 % of the total complaints.

By autonomous communities (Basque Country and Cataloniawho have the transferred powers), the most punished region was Andalusia, with 436,273 complaints made. It was followed by the Community of Madrid (210,792 sanctions) and the Valencian Community (127,063 complaints).
