The speed check in a section is as follows: the cameras – one per lane – continuously register all vehicles at the entrance and exit of the tunnel
The section radars are:
away to check speed, not at specific kilometer points, as fixed speed cameras do, but on stretches of road of several kilometers. The first started in 2010 in the Guadarrama tunnel, on the A-6. In reality, this form of surveillance does not work with radars, but rather with
with artificial vision camerassimilar to the penalties at traffic lights in some cities, according to the DGT.
The
speed control procedure: in one section is as follows: the cameras -one per lane- continuously register all vehicles at the entrance and exit of the tunnel. For this they use continuous infrared lighting -because of the lighting conditions- that the human eye cannot capture. The cameras are synchronized via fiber optic and satellite so that their clocks show the same time.
With the stored data, a computer ‘matches’ the same license plates, checks the passing times of each vehicle and calculates the average speed. When it is found that the speed has been exceeded, the system sends the photos (input and output) to the DGT Automated Complaints Treatment Center in León for processing the complaint and by post to the vehicle owner to identify the offending driver.
That Yes, from the Associated European Motorists (AEA) has not only found that these section radars do not discriminate against the offending vehicle when two vehicles pass through the same point in parallel, but also that the margins of error are not applied legally established.
Although many people do not know it, the DGT makes available to all interested parties the list of fixed and mobile speed cameras that are distributed throughout Spain. The list of speed traps can be accessed in less than a minute and each section pinpoints the exact point where each radar is located. In addition, the information is updated every Monday.
