DGT Central Traffic Authority has fined more than one thousand drivers since the new ‘radar de tramo’ speed trap came into operation in the A-7 motorway tunnel at Torrox on March 1.
The equipment calculates a driver’s average speed over a distance of one kilometre and is one of only two such systems which are currently in place on roads in Spain. The other is in Guadarrama, Madrid, where close to 600 vehicles have been caught speeding in its first two months of operation.
The record speed was in Torrox, where La Opinión de Málaga reports that a driver travelled at an average speed of 173 kph, reaching the far end of the tunnel in half the time it should have taken if the speed limit had been respected.
The paper notes that 43 drivers are fined on this stretch of road every day, while in Guadarrama the number has now dropped to 7.
