The most active radar in Spain is located at km. 74.7 of the A-381, at the exit of the Valdeinfierno tunnel, in the municipality of Los Barrios (Cádiz), with a record of 79,258 complaints. By autonomous communities, it stands out that the most active radars of the DGT have been located in Andalusia, with 953,422 complaints filed and representing 25.7% of the total; in the Valencian Community, with 447,470 (12%) and Castilla y León, with 427,448 (11.5%). On the contrary, the radars located in La Rioja (39,757), Navarra (83,231) and Asturias (83,993) were the ones with the fewest complaints.
This is stated in the report by Associated European Motorists, which compiles the most active speedometers in Spain. According to this association, only 50 radars, of the more than 1,000 that Traffic has deployed on Spanish roads, accumulated 28% of the fines.
Of them, 33 already appeared in the ranking of the most active cinemometers from the previous year. The other seventeen located in new locations. During the year 2022, the DGT radars made 3,704,675 complaints about speeding. This represents an increase of 21.2% over those carried out in the same period of the previous year (3,056,437).
Furthermore, AEA draws attention to the fact that certain radars have exponentially increased their activity. Thus, for example, the radar located at km. 37 of the A-381, (Jerez-Los Barrios Highway) in the municipality of Alcala de los Gazules (Cádiz), has gone from making 17,666 complaints in 2021 to 68,321 in 2022. Also the radars located at km. 53 of the M-40, in Madrid and at km. 42.2 of the GC-1, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, have experienced significant increases of more than 200% and 100%, respectively.
Along these lines, Associated European Motorists has analyzed the fines imposed in Madrid, and according to their data, during the past year traffic complaints in the capital increased by 34%, compared to those made in 2021, with a “record” turnover. of 337 million euros.
The Madrid City Council sanctions, with these records, five drivers every minute. As in previous years, the majority of infractions committed in the city of Madrid have nothing to do with road safety (speed, traffic lights, alcohol and drugs, use of telephone, helmet or seat belt), and everything to do with mobility, since 45.2% of the complaints made (1,222,305 complaints) refer to parking lots and 29.9% are for unauthorized access to low-emission zones (807,810): Central District, Plaza Elíptica and inside the M-30 and the M-30 itself. However, the AEA report highlights that it is precisely the violations that directly affect road safety that have increased the most: passing a red light (65%); not using a helmet (67%) and alcohol or drug use (25%).
Regarding formal complaints about speeding, the AEA report indicates that the municipal radars made approximately the same number of complaints as the previous year (485,255 compared to 484,100), with the radar section of the A-5 (Batán) being the most active, with 72,652 complaints.
