It’s Friday, July 30. That means several things: To start with, this weekend the change of month occurs, and also from the last fortnight of July to the first of August. A lot of people who are on vacation and the 15/30 days that they caught in July run out, go home; many people who have been caught the 15/30 days of August leave home. At the traffic level, it is one of those weekends in which the DGT takes extreme precautions.
More than 1,600 speed cameras
If you are preparing a trip, and you would like to have at least the radars located in the area where you are going to travel, in this .PDF file that you can download from the DGT you are informed of all and each of the 1,607 radars that DGT is using this summer of 2021, 780 fixed radars and 545 mobile radars.
The PDF tells you the road on which they are located, the direction, if the radar is mobile or fixed. But locating them by hand and putting them on the mobile one by one is absolute tedium, so one option is to activate the DGT’s fixed and mobile speed camera warning on Google Maps. And another to use one of these applications for Android and iOS mobiles:
