Overview
- The RACC/Fundación RACE analysis of 26,470 km across 3,595 sections logged 3,873 serious or fatal crashes in 2022–2024, with 1,341 deaths and 3,566 serious injuries.
- About 11.8–12% of the state network is rated at elevated or very elevated risk, and all of the ten most dangerous stretches are conventional single-carriageway roads.
- High-risk sections increased to 95 totaling roughly 904 km, with the worst segment on the N‑340 at Mont‑roig del Camp scoring a 200.9 risk index.
- For the first time in 15 years, the motorway/autovía risk index rose, edging up from 6.1 to 6.4 in the latest triennial assessment.
- Risk is unevenly distributed, with Aragón showing the highest share of dangerous kilometers (about 21%) and Madrid the lowest (about 2%), while Galicia more than doubled its high-risk kilometers to 127 across 12 stretches; motorcyclists account for roughly 29–30% of victim-involved crashes, reinforcing calls for corridor‑level safety upgrades.
