Spain Launches Nationwide Radar Operation to Protect Roadwork Zones

The DGT is deploying radar, drones and connected cones to curb speeding in Spain’s construction zones

In Spanien läuft eine große Radaraktion - im Fokus stehen vor allem Gebiete mit Baustellen.

Overview

  • The weeklong campaign runs from June 23 to 29 and targets stretches where lane shifts, diversions or narrowed carriageways raise crash risks
  • Mobile and fixed radar units will operate alongside section speed controls, Pegasus drones and Guardia Civil patrols to enforce limits
  • Geolocated connected cones with light signals will transmit real-time alerts to the DGT traffic management centre and roadside message boards
  • The operation follows 142 road maintenance accidents in 2024 that injured 23 pedestrians and 119 construction workers
  • Spain handles about 23,000 annual roadwork projects, prompting authorities to bolster surveillance measures to reduce accidents
