the General Directorate of Traffic During the year 2023, which lasts with full data, a total of 5.2 million complaints about traffic violations on roads, and all national lands except Catalonia and the Basque Country (the transfer of power to Navarra are still under operation). Although this means a 6.67 % discount on an annual basis in the year 2022, where there were 5.5 million complaints, the group reached the record number 501,431,414 euros. However, not in all independent societies is collected and There are some cities that have more fines than others.
Madrid is the Spain region, where it is fine for every kilometer
The last edition of the study that is carried out every year by the Defense Organization of European Car Drivers (AEA) shows a clear reality: Madrid is the place where more fines are placed regarding kilometers From the surface of the road. In general, the capital was Third, where more violations were indicatedWith a total of 605,670 complaints related to traffic violations, which is a percentage of 187 complaints per kilometer. Half was due to fixed radars, as it was the main cause. Nearly 100,000 were linked to the technical inspection of vehicles (ITV), and unfortunately, it was 10552 to drive without a safety belt, an indispensable element to save lives.
Absolutely, Andalusia It is an independent community where more complaints were submitted, with a total of 1402,101 grams, although they are also the most comprehensive, with an estimated 23345 km road network, which is 54 grams per kilometer. Regarding the relationship with the current vehicle garden, Castilla-La Mancha leaders This relationship, with 0.28 complaints per vehicle, after I practiced 469,782 total complaints for 1,659,566 cars registered in the area.
With other data in the hand, specifically those related to the arrangement of DVUELTA fines, we notice that Madrid Palm is also taken. he Second DVUELTA study It reflects that the session directed by Jose Luis Martinez-Blaida Last year, 2024 raised about 211 million euros In relevant traffic violations. Specifically, this increase is due to the increasingly extensive implementation of the areas restricted to the passage of some vehicles if they do not meet environmental standards, known as the name Low emissions (ZBE).
Madrid City Council not only It leads the list of the ten main capitals of Spain that grew up With traffic violations, but in itself he gets more than 9 additions, between Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, ignition, Malaga, Bilbo, Ballasa, Valencia, Las Palace de Gran Canaria and Murcia enter 181 million euros in assembly, and 30 million euros less than the capital. The amazing personalities with which Madrid collects only about half of what is the entire DGT in its competition areas, which reopen the continuous debate between drivers about the balance between road safety and their collection.
The most “colored” radar in Spain is also in Madrid
Keep in mind that speed violations are still among the most common complaints (3.3 million complaints out of a total of 5.2 million), we must also analyze what are the most exotic radars in Spain and its location. According to Data collected by aafor Only 50 radars in Spain are more than 30 % of total fines For this reason, DGT puts each year on its rival methods, a total of 1,245,053.
he Radar is more strange throughout Spain It is also in Madrid. Specifically, in A kilometer 20.2 point from M-40. This moved from the speed of speed to 17,412 cars in 2022 to 118,149 in 2023, an increase that explains a lot of the reason for Madrid at the head of fines per kilometer of the road, as the speed radar only accumulates a large percentage of 605,670 that was recorded on all roads in the Mudduid community.
Although there are no significant changes from year to year explaining this increase in the number of fines convicted and associated, you can explain the reasons that make thousands of drivers every year before the measurements of this cinema. In this region of Madrid road, Circunvalación, in the Mercamadrid area, The maximum speed allowed at 80 km per hour is limited. Taking into account that eThe maximum on the rest of the road is 100 km per hourThis will be the reason why many drivers are arrested in turn. In addition to this radar, which is the very difference for the second most supplementary (66,869 grams of speed in KM 968.2 from A-7, where it passes through Malaga), in the central region, there are four other radars that enter the top 30:
- At a kilometer 52.7 points from M-40, with 33,612 grams
- PK 12.4 from A-4, 21,105 grams
- PK 13.3 from A-4, 20807 grams
- PK 15 from A-2, 17,119 grams
