The map of sanctions for speeding in 2026 was established by the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) of Spain. Exceeding authorized speed limits remains the traffic violation with the highest detection rate on Spanish roads, consolidating during 2026 a rigorous scale that aims to reduce speeding.
The system implemented by the DGT establishes a rigorous scale where the economic value of fines and the loss of points on the driver's license increase gradually according to the severity of the violation. This applies from urban stretches to highways and toll-free motorways.
The main objective of this measure is to deter drivers from exceeding established speed limits, thus contributing to greater road safety throughout Spanish territory. The progressive increase in sanctions reflects the intention of traffic authorities to combat this dangerous practice more effectively.
