Drivers in Los Alcázares are being warned to ease off the accelerator this week as the council launches a new speed control campaign across the municipality.

 

The initiative will run from May 8 to 15 and will see rotating traffic checkpoints on roads where excessive speeding has repeatedly been detected.

 

According to Los Alcázares Town Hall, the campaign is designed to be preventative and dissuasive rather than purely punitive, with the aim of improving road safety and reducing risky driving behaviour.

 

Officials say the move is intended to remind motorists that local streets are shared spaces used every day by drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, making respect for speed limits essential.

 

The council has also stressed that it is continuing to work on wider safety improvements in different parts of the municipality, including reinforcing street lighting in sensitive areas to improve visibility and reduce risks.

 

Speed controls will be carried out on a rotating basis and will focus on roads including:

 

 

The council says the overall objective is simple: encourage more responsible driving and continue working towards a safer Los Alcázares for everybody.
