Invisible DGT speed cameras, where are they located?

Next Friday, 8 April, the Easter Week 2022 operation begins. This operation is expected to involve more than 14.6 million journeys. With the aim of reducing road accidents, the Directorate-General of Traffic will activate a special operation that will monitor speed and the use of seat belts and child restraint systems. Likewise, the presence of speed cameras will increase. We show you the map of invisible speed cameras from the DGT. Don’t worry, it is legal to check it.

Invisible speed cameras, also known as Veloláser, are quite small, so they can be placed where you least expect them. They measure 50 centimetres and record speeds of up to 250 km/h. They are operated remotely and are able to differentiate between vehicles. These very small cameras started working in 2018, and 60 units were acquired.

The map of invisible speed cameras has been created on Google Maps and is fed by the alerts that SocialDrive users upload to the platform. When you click on the icon of each camera, it provides exact information, its location and, in some cases, even photographs. You can consult the map by clicking here.

Following the introduction of the new Traffic and Road Safety Law, you may have doubts about its use. Don’t worry, it is completely legal. What the Traffic Law “targets” is the use and possession of radar detectors and jammers inside the vehicle.

By contrast, radar alert apps, such as this map, are legal because they draw on information from official sources. Remember that you may not handle your smartphone to consult it. This is a serious offence that can result in the loss of up to 6 points.

It should be noted that these invisible speed cameras form part of the more than 545 mobile speed cameras that the Directorate-General of Traffic has confirmed will make up the special Easter Week 2022 operation. In addition, as we told you yesterday, the DGT will use 13 helicopters, some equipped with Pegasus radar, 15 camouflaged vans, 780 fixed speed cameras and 92 section-control cameras, 39 drones, 216 cameras to monitor the use of seat belts, child restraint systems and smartphones. Likewise, various breathalyser checkpoints will be set up, officers will be deployed across the road network, and staffing at the traffic management centres will be reinforced.

The aim of this special operation is to reduce road accidents and save lives.
