Spanish roads gain 33 new speed cameras. Here is where you can find them

The Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), the governing body that regulates traffic, in Spain has just activated 33 new speed cameras across Spanish roads as of February 27, intensifying efforts to curb excessive speeding and improve road safety. How many cars are able to overstep the limit considering the state of the roads after recent storms is another question.

These latest installations include 20 fixed speed cameras (which detect instantaneous speed at a specific point) and 13 average speed traps. They are now operational in eleven autonomous communities around the country: Andalucia, Aragon, Asturias, Canarias, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y Leon, Comunidad Valenciana, Comunidad de Madrid, Galicia, and Murcia.

33 new additions part of much larger campaign to fill roads with speed cameras

The addition of these devices is part of a larger 2025 to 2026 plan to deploy 122 new speed control points, mostly on conventional roads and high-occupancy lanes. With 106 already in place earlier, this batch brings the initiative closer to completion throughout 2026. The DGT explains that speeding remains the biggest factor in fatal accidents, contributing to 24 per cent of deadly crashes in 2024, with 307 such incidents recorded. Since the introduction of fixed speed camera plans in 2005, these controls are said to have helped reduce road fatalities by 75 per cent. The new devices are clearly signposted, and their locations have been shared with navigation app providers for real-time alerts.

No fines at first (promise)

To ease the transition for drivers, the DGT will send informational warning letters (without fines) for the first month to those caught exceeding limits – basically, during March 2026. After this grace period, standard penalties will apply. Some drivers are still wary, though. The DGT also said there would be a grace period for those with the V16 beacons, made law at the beginning of the year. However, fines were dished out to those without the new beacons anyway.

Drivers ought to exercise extra caution in the following locations, based on the official DGT list.
Key: Stretch = Area of average speed cameras / Fixed = One single speed camera / Kilometre = The exact point of the road where recording begins on average speed cameras + the amount of metres.

Up-to-the-minute DGT activity

For the most up-to-date and complete official inventory of all fixed speed cameras and average speed camera stretches (including these new ones as they integrate), drivers can consult the DGT’s dedicated page at www.dgt.es, where downloadable lists are periodically updated. Check the interactive map from the DGT below for new additions and roadworks.

The DGT says we should all keep an eye on our speedometers, as more cameras are installed. The tech is paying for itself as more and more are forced to pay fines.
