The new Speeding Law

What does this sign mean?

You MUSTN'T drive faster than 110 km/hr.

You CAN'T do it, it is prohibited/forbidden/not allowed.

You HAVE TO drive slower than 110 km/hr or you'll get a fine.

It is a race against the clock this weekend for road maintenance crews to change all the 120 km/hr signs across the country to 110 km/hr. In most cases stickers are being used to replace the signs, while in Navarra stickers are being used just to replace the ‘2’ with a ‘1’.


All the signs should be changed by 6am on Monday from when the top speed on Spanish motorways will be 110km/hr after the measure was printed in the Official State Bulletin on Sunday.


The Government has announced the measure will be in force for an initial four month period, which could be extended if there continues to be possible supply problems from oil producing countries.


The measure is not possible with the public, with a poll published in El País on Sunday showing 69% of the population are against it. The Government has called for responsibility and coherence and considers the measure will reduce petrol consumption by 28.6 million barrels a year, and save 12.5 tons of CO2 emissions.


The DGT traffic authority has said that 100 € fines will be issued for anyone clocked travelling at 111kms/hr, although some driving associations claim that fines will not be issued until 115kms/hr.
