The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) is intensifying speed controls this August, coinciding with the 54.5 million long-distance journeys anticipated. Inadequate speed is linked to one in five fatal accidents. Despite signage, 60% of Spanish drivers admit to exceeding speed limits on conventional roads and high-capacity routes.
In 2025, DGT speed cameras collected over 246 million euros, a 14% increase from the previous year, according to an AEA study. Just 50 out of over 1,000 speed measurement devices on the road network accounted for 1,343,385 fines.
Andalusia accounts for 11 of these 50 radars. A speed camera on the A-7 in El Rincón de la Victoria (Málaga), at kilometer 968.2, recorded 45,050 fines, ranking it as the fifth highest in Spain. Just 10 kilometers further, another radar on the same highway (km 978.9) issued 42,088 infractions, making it the second highest in Andalusia.
Following this is a radar on the A-381 (Jerez de la Frontera-Los Barrios, Cádiz), at kilometer marker 74, with 36,925 fines. A new fixed radar on the first kilometer of the AL-3117 (El Mamí road, Almería), launched in January 2025, also stands out, accumulating 29,910 fines.
Other notable radars include a section control on the A-7 between San Roque and Algeciras (Cádiz) (km 1107) with 28,091 fines; one on the A-1050 (La Mojonera-El Ejido, Almería) with 15,855; the one at the Centenary Bridge on the SE-30 (Sevilla) (km 10) with 23,740; and another at the junction with the A-92 (Sevilla-Almería) with 16,141.
The list is completed by radars in Huétor Santillán (Granada) (A-92, km 256) with 23,447 infractions; the one at Cuesta del Espino in Córdoba (A-4, km 417) with 21,792; and one at kilometer 10 of the MA-20 with 20,320.
In terms of revenue, Cádiz leads in Andalusia and ranks third in Spain with 16.5 million euros in 2025. It is followed by Málaga, Granada, Sevilla, Córdoba, Almería, Jaén, and Huelva. Fines for speeding vary based on the margin exceeded, from €100 with no points deducted to €600 and 6 points for exceeding the limit by more than 71 km/h.
Exceeding the speed limit by more than 80 km/h on interurban roads is considered a crime, punishable by prison sentences, fines, or community service, in addition to the suspension of the driving license.
