Overview
- The DGT campaign, which began Monday, runs through April 19 with Guardia Civil traffic units and local police stepping up checks on urban and interurban roads.
- Spain is taking part in a Europe‑wide push through the RoadPol network that concentrates controls on high‑risk stretches with a focus on deterrence and safety.
- The BOE listed 15 new dynamic radars now available to the Guardia Civil, allowing flexible deployment as fixed or mobile speed traps.
- Spanish media report the rollout of compact LiDAR units known as Velolaser, describing long‑range, hard‑to‑spot sensors and a €1.02 million purchase to expand mobile checks.
- Speed was a determining factor in 307 fatal crashes in 2024, up 5.5% from 2023, and DGT data show most drivers exceed limits in free‑flow traffic, underscoring why controls are intensifying.
