The General Directorate of Traffic identifies excessive speed on the roads as one of the main causes of traffic accidents in our country. Therefore, in order to reduce accidents and mortality, a total of 122 fixed and section radars will be installed during 2025.
These devices have been activated in several batches, the latest of which was on August 1, when 32 went into operation in several autonomous communities, including the Canary Islands, with up to two new fixed radars located on the island of Tenerife.
What is the location of these radars?The first of them is located at km 1.11, in the ascending direction of the TF-2 , which is characterized by being a road with several lanes in each direction and which connects the southern Tenerife highway (TF-1) with the northern highway (TF-5). In addition, it has an average daily traffic of more than 75,000 vehicles .
The second is located at kilometer 2.9 downstream of the TF-652, a secondary road that connects the towns of Las Charifas and Las Galletas, within the municipality of Arona. Finally, both radars will begin issuing fines to drivers who violate their speed limits starting September 1st .
