The longest section radar in the capital, which the City Council installed in September 2023 on Sinesio Delgado Street to control that vehicles do not exceed 50 kilometers per hour, will begin to fine offenders next Monday, the 15th, after four months notice period.
In these four months, the City Council has sent information notifications to the owners of vehicles that exceeded the permitted speed, but with the end of the notice period, offenders will begin to be fined.
The penalties for exceeding the speed limits, according to the Road Safety Law, are classified as serious or very serious with amounts ranging from 100 to 600 euros and the associated loss of 2 and up to 6 points on the driving license.
“On the 15th the notice period for the Sinesio Delgado radar ends, a radar that is installed for security reasons, at the request of the neighbors, at the request of the Municipal Board. During this period, warnings have been reduced by half and, therefore, people, once they know about the installation of this radar, begin to comply with the speed limits. Therefore, we do not estimate that there will be a very high number of sanctions from the 15th,” the delegate of Urban Planning, Environment and Mobility, Borja Carabante, explained to the press this Monday.
The PP councilor has detailed, in this sense, that in November half as many notices were issued compared to September. "In November, 422 daily notices were issued, but we estimate that this figure will be reduced by around 50% in December, and, of course, with the entry into force of the sanctions on the 15th it will be reduced again by an amount very substantial,” Carabante predicted.
