The new DGT mobile radar hiding place discovered by a motorcyclist

The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has a wide variety of radars on our country's roads. This means that we can encounter not only fixed ones , but also mobile devices , meaning they don't have a specific kilometer point. However, both have a common objective: they are responsible for ensuring that drivers comply with the speed limits for the road they are traveling on.

Mobile radars are commonly found in Civil Guard vehicles. However, they can also be located anywhere on the Spanish road network without prior signage. The opposite is true of fixed and section devices. These must be properly marked. Therefore, we find signs on roads warning of their presence.

DGT speed camera map: find out their updated location

The surprise always comes with mobile phones, since they are very small and light , meaning they can be hidden anywhere. It's worth remembering that years ago, the DGT opted for Velolaser , a very small speed camera measuring just 50 centimeters . A motorcyclist discovered the location of this type of mobile radar.

The hiding place of the DGT mobile radars

A motorcyclist has been able to capture the presence of one of these Velolasers on a road in Spain. A video shared on social media shows the device positioned behind a yield sign .

For many drivers, this location may be unexpected . In fact, several people have commented on this video, claiming they've also been caught by this speed camera or that it's positioned "to catch." It's located on a straight stretch , a place where speeding violations are common.

How long does it take to get a traffic ticket?

Pere Navarro , Director General of the DGT, explained that we have "robust enforcement, with a sanctioning procedure that is clear, efficient, and simple for citizens." Furthermore, the short notification periods help to give the fines an "educational" nature and also aim to bring about a "change in behavior" among the drivers who receive the fines.

On the other hand, he stated that the time it takes for a traffic violation notification to arrive in Spain is only between two and seven days "through the Electronic Traffic Department."
