Traffic cameras, seat belt use control cameras, section radars, helicopters, camouflaged vans… There are many means of the DGT to ensure that this Christmas travel is carried out in complete safety. Specifically, 780 fixed radars (92 of them sectional, in fact, Madrid has one almost 2 kilometers long with 6 control devices) and 545 mobile speed control, in addition to the 13 helicopters, 39 drones, 245 cameras and 15 camouflaged vans to control the use of cell phones and seat belts – they are usually on porches and posts and take up to 50 photographs per second. Without forgetting the 60 Velolaser that operate in Spain. This type of radar can detect a speed violation three times per second with a margin of error of 2 kilometers per hour from a distance of 1,500 meters.

In reality, the latter are cameras that monitor speeding vehicles that are about to join a main road. If the cameras detect that the continuous line is not respected, they will sanction the offender with a financial fine of 200 euros, but, in this case, without withdrawal of points. And to prevent drivers from skipping a STOP or not doing it correctly, the DGT has installed cameras that permanently record and send the evidence of the infraction to the Automatic Complaints Handling Center. Thus, they are exposed to a fine of 200 euros and the withdrawal of 4 points. Another curiosity, although in this specific example it is not a radar itself, are the photo-red traffic lights. And this type of radar does not take into account the speed of the vehicle, but is in operation so that red traffic lights are respected, hence its name. This is a camera that checks which vehicles continue to circulate when they encounter this traffic sign. Jumping a red light carries a 200 euro fine and the loss of 4 points on your driving license.

It’s simple: it consists of placing a mobile radar after a fixed one. And if the braking has no justification and puts safety between cars at risk, it is 200 euros and 4 points less on the license.
