The city of Valencia has strengthened speed control on its main avenues by installing 10 fixed pole-mounted booths. The Local Police will randomly place mobile radars in these locations as part of the 2026-2030 Road Safety Vector Plan, which aims to halve fatal and serious accidents.

The booths have been placed on roads where higher accident rates have been detected. The rotation of the radars aims to enhance their deterrent effect against speeding. The locations were decided by the Local Police and the Mobility department.

Two of the booths are located on Avenida de los Hermanos Machado (number 53, intersection with Vicente Canet street, inbound direction, and intersection with Sant Josep Artesà street). The rest are on Avenida del Maestro Rodrigo (number 84), Avenida Pío XII (number 51), Avenida del Cid (number 61), Camí Nou de Picanya (number 49), Avenida de Fernando Abril Martorell (confluence with Carrera de Malilla), Avenida de López Piñero, Avenida de Antonio Ferrandis (intersection with Pou Aparisi), and Avenida de los Naranjos (number 8).

The Councilor for Security and Mobility, Jesús Carbonell, explained that these devices aim to minimize accidents and their severity, with a special focus on protecting the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and electric scooter riders.

The installation is part of a broader plan that includes campaigns against alcohol, drugs, and distractions. The City Council reminds that on many of these stretches, the maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h or lower, limits that are often exceeded.
