Up to 32 kilometers in a row controlled, the five longest section radars of the DGT

Section radars are very effective when it comes to “hunting down” drivers who exceed the speed limits. These are the five longest section radars of the DGT.

As is known, speeding is one of the main causes of traffic accidents, therefore, the DGT uses different instruments to control and punish drivers who violate speed limits. Among these instruments are section radars. We will tell you about the five longest section radars, up to 32 kilometers in a row controlled.

According to the organization of Associated European Motorists (AEA), in 201 the DGT filed a total of 4,793,520 complaints on Spanish roads, of which 3,056,437 were for speeding.

In Spain there are currently 92 section radars spread over different points of geography. These cinemometers are very effective because, unlike the fixed ones, they calculate the average speed along a section that can be several kilometers long.

Normally, they are usually installed on highways, but there are also them on roads and in the occasional tunnel. In fact, the first section radar was installed in the Guadarrama tunnel, on the A-8 motorway between Madrid and Segovia. We can also find them in urban areas.

This is how a section radar works

The operation of a section radar is relatively simple. It consists of two infrared artificial vision cameras placed at two points of the section to be controlled, one at the beginning and the other at the end.

Both devices are synchronized by fiber optic and satellite so that their clocks mark the same time. Thus, when a vehicle passes through the controlled section, the two cameras collect the number plate and a computer counts the time it has taken to cover the measured distance and its average speed.

If the speed is greater than that established in that section of the road, the system detects the infraction and then sends the information and photographs to the Automated Complaints Treatment Center, where the fine is processed and sent to the owner’s postal address. vehicle.

We have said that section radars measure the average speed along a route that can be several kilometers long. But how much?

Next, we are going to show you the five longest section radars of the DGT:

  1. CL-615, at kilometer point 34.61 in the increasing direction (Palencia): 32.895 kilometers.
  2. CL-615, at kilometer point 1,706 in a decreasing direction (Palencia): 23,136 kilometers.
  3. CL-613, at kilometer point 15.41 in a decreasing direction and 32.7 in an increasing direction (Palencia): 17,456 kilometers.
  4. N-430, at kilometer point 486.58 in a decreasing direction and 502.945 in an increasing direction (Albacete) 16,387 kilometers.
  5. N-432, at kilometer point 80.92 in a decreasing direction and 95.49 in an increasing direction (Badajoz): 14,708 kilometers.

It is noteworthy that, although section radars are usually located on dual carriageways and motorways, the five longest in Spain are on conventional roads, three of which are in the province of Palencia.

The Castilian-Leonese province has the three longest section radars. Specifically, the cinemometer located at kilometer 34.61 of the CL-615, in an increasing direction, controls a journey of more than 32 kilometers, exactly 32.895.

However, contrary to what it might seem, these five longest section speed cameras of the DGT are not among the 50 speed cameras that fine the most in Spain. There are much more “multons” devices that control smaller sections, such as the one on the A-8 in Lugo, which barely has an extension of five kilometers and in 2021 accumulated 20,626 fines.
