This deployment, combining technical and human resources, focuses on critical points of the Cádiz road network, including the A-4 highway and secondary roads. The initiative seeks to combat speeding and substance consumption, key factors in accident rates.
The Traffic Civil Guard is conducting random alcohol and drug checks on the A-4, a main artery connecting Jerez, the capital, and the municipalities of the Bay. Conventional roads also receive special attention, as they historically record a high incidence of serious accidents due to run-off-road incidents, especially on access roads to rural and coastal areas.
Technology plays a fundamental role in this strategy. Drones now fly over strategic points where static surveillance is difficult, detecting infractions such as mobile phone use while driving or not wearing a seatbelt. Furthermore, the plan to install new speed cameras is progressing, with average speed cameras gaining prominence over traditional fixed ones to encourage more consistent and safe driving.
Prevention remains the most effective tool to reach our destination without setbacks.
Surveillance is notably intensified this week due to the celebration of the Jerez MotoGP Grand Prix, an event that attracts thousands of fans. For this, the DGT has activated a security device with over 4,000 personnel in the area, constantly supervising the access roads to the Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto. It is recommended to plan journeys in advance and follow instructions to ensure safety.
