The new speed control strategy will be applied to the entire motorway, from La Jonquera to Ulldecona. These six new mobile devices join the four already operational, allowing the Servei Català de Trànsit (SCT) to monitor the road more effectively and reduce accident rates. The measure was announced by the Minister of Interior, Núria Parlon, during an appearance in the Parliament to address the mobility crisis in Catalonia.

This expansion follows the confirmation of the high effectiveness of the first four control devices deployed a year ago. According to SCT data, during 2025, 11 million vehicles were monitored, and 585,000 fines were processed. The impact was immediate: in just two weeks, the average number of speeding infractions dropped from 5% to 2% of the vehicles monitored. The director of the SCT, Ramon Lamiel, confirmed that the cameras will not be hidden, but warnings will alert drivers of their presence to ensure compliance with limits.

In parallel, the Department of Interior will reinforce exhaustive surveillance of heavy goods vehicles circulating on the AP-7. Since the end of the tolls, the increase in trucks has been notable, and these vehicles often cause accidents and major traffic jams. Macro-controls will be expanded, such as those carried out at the former tolls of Martorell or La Roca, to check that drivers respect legally established rest times, thus preventing fatigue-related road departures.
