Overview
- The Dirección General de Tráfico began a national campaign that started Monday, June 22 and runs through June 28 to step up vigilance in signposted roadworks and tunnels.
- Guardia Civil traffic units and regional police will focus on enforcing temporary speed limits, stopping dangerous overtaking, lane-change violations, and mobile-phone distractions near worker zones.
- The campaign adds DGT 3.0 technology, including 'connected cones' that feed live location data to information panels and navigation systems so drivers receive advance warnings of active works.
- DGT and Registro Nacional figures from 2025 show 154 incidents tied to road maintenance with speed as the main risk factor, and past regional checks found speeding accounted for about 80–88% of sanctions.
- Beyond immediate fines and point losses—local authorities warned fines in some provinces can reach up to €600—the effort aims to cut deaths and injuries among road operatives and improve real-time traffic safety management.
