these 68 radars and signal installation will rotate on a random set of 175 points of speed control. With the introduction of these new radars and 317 DGT sum speed checkpoints on the roads, a figure that increased to 500 points over the next year.
MADRID.-The Traffic Department has presented at a press conference a new series of fixed cameras, installed in 2006, which will be operational with the start of the special campaign limit control rate beginning 13 March.
The Traffic Department has taken a further step in implementing the Plan of Radar Installation Fixed by introducing 68 new checkpoints highway speed going into operation on 13 March. 68 cinemometers
These rotate at random from a total of 175 points of speed control, all set in 2006 and signed in advance. Therefore, there will be a radar in operation, three fixtures without the drivers know which control point enters the device that monitors the speed.
Commissioning of new radar coincides with a campaign to control the speed to run until March 26 and that will intensify mainly on the roads two-way traffic.
With the introduction of the new radar, the DGT has 317 points and speed control on the roads (see PDF locating radars). However, this figure will increase to more than 500 fixed cameras throughout the next year.
Also, in 2008 the Traffic Civil Guard also have a total of 300 mobile radar, which the DGT will have a total of 800 radar for speed control on the highway. The
mostly on secondary roads
According to the Directorate General of Traffic these new radars have been introduced in spots or sections of concentration of accidents involving excessive speed appears as a major factor in conflicting sections intersections and roads where it is not possible inspection by the Guardia Civil with mobile radars.
In this sense, the director of the DGT, Pere Navarro, insisted that these points have been established at the proposal of the Provincial Road Safety Commission in each province, ensuring that there are four provinces. The remaining 130 were approved by the weighted average of the accidents in each territory.
to region, the 175 control points were distributed as follows: 36 in the regions of Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura, 32 in Andalusia, 30 in Castilla-León, 21 in Valencia and Murcia, 21 in Asturias, 18 in Galicia, 14 in Aragon and 3 in Cantabria.
should also be noted that of 175 control points, 111 have been the installation in conventional roads and 64 on motorways. As an example, introduced six new radars in the community of Madrid, all of them are located on secondary roads, M-505, F-300, M-404 M-513 and M-608.
Regarding the type of installation, most fixed point speed control booths have been installed in side (144), followed by frames (20), side posts (8) and medium (3). Radar
measuring average speed
According to the DGT, in 2005 there were 91,187 accidents with victims in Spain, which caused 4,442 deaths. The rate was present in at least one of every four accidents, such as contributory factor, causing the deaths of more than 1,000 people.
For this reason, and considering that the speed is "the unfinished business of this country," the director of the DGT recalled that "aim" is to reduce "the range" of speeds than those that can run on the same track.
To do so, said his department already has a radar system that will monitor the average speed in Spain, in order to obtain useful information that will allow then modify the system speed.
Currently, he said, are already installed four radars to that effect in the A-3 and radial roads of Madrid.
