All this week, continuing through the weekend, traffic officers from the Guardia Civil, accompanied by colleagues from the regional and local police, have been monitoring vehicles for inappropriate speed on the roads of Spain.
However, things are going to get even more intense today, Friday, as this is a campaign is also carried out at a European level by the RoadPol (European Roads Policing Network) association, and today will see the RoadPol Speed Marathon take place, a speed control action throughout the European continent that this year celebrates its tenth edition and to which more than 14,900 traffic police officers joined last year from 19 countries that controlled more than 3,100,000 drivers at 10,500 checkpoints.
The objective of the campaign, which will run from today until next Sunday 23, is to control especially risky sections associated with speed, as well as those points where traffic exceeds the established limit and there is a high incident rate, all following the recommendations of the international and European Organisations that urge the agencies in charge of road safety in different countries to ensure that the established speed limits are complied with.
It is necessary to remember that inappropriate speed is the third most common contributing factor in traffic incidents, especially those with fatalities, with more than 251 cases in 2022.
