Spanish roads sum over 165.000 kilometres. There are around 5 speeding cameras for every 1.000 kilometers of roads, but the distribution of the speed cameras is anything but uniform.
Two autonomous communities in Spain, the Basque Country and Catalonia, sum more than 30% of the speeding cameras in the country, with record averages of 13'5 speeding traps every 1.000 kilometers in the Basque Country and 18 in Catalonia.
That means that if you hire a car in Barcelona and use it for about a week you will be monitored between 20 and 100 times, depending on how much you drive... Take into account that speeding cameras are often placed in touristic areas, you will probably find well over 18 for every 1.000 kilometers on the road.
The average speeding cameras every 1.000 kilometers reduces to 9 in Madrid. The lowest rates are found in Castile and Leon (2'45), Extremadura (2'18) and Navarra (1).
