Speed cameras in Malaga

Malaga is one of the best Spanish destinations, as it offers a perfect balance of beach, sun, shopping, culture, nightlife and gastronomy. The A-7 (the highway that runs parallel to the coast) and the A-45 (also a highway, this one connecting Malaga and Cordoba) concentrate most of the speeding cameras. You can be aware of their precise location hiring a GPS (DGT informs about their location in advance).

As the list of spots controlled by radar is updated monthly, radar than providing an information that will be outdated in a matter of weeks, I think it's more useful to provide the link where the information will always be up-to-date:

* vocabulary tips: "radar fijo" means "fixed speed camera". "Radar tramo" means "road section average speed camera". "Radar móvil" means "mobile speed camera".

Speeding fines in Malaga and Costa del Sol

Malaga is one of the most beautiful Spanish destinations if you are looking for sun, beaches and fun.

If you decide to move around by car, bear in mind that there are areas in the motorways with an 80 km/h speed limit and average speed cameras. Both the limit and the cameras are advised, and local drivers know the location, so paying attention should be enough to prevent speeding fines, which are a very popular souvenir in Malaga (you'll receive it by post and pay afterwards).

Malaga is beautiful, but beware the speed traps!
