Spain's Direccion General de Trafico or DGT is advocating curtailing maximum speeds on the network of Spanish secondary roads, the location of over seventy five percent of Spain's fatal crashes take place, to 90 km per hour. EFE stated that approximately 1300 out of just over seventeen hundred persons who died in car incidents in 2010 died on Spain's network of secondary roads.
The limit currently ranges between one hundred and ninety kph based on factors inc the width of the hard shoulder, but the DGT chief, Pere Navarro is confident that motorists would find it far less confusing if the limit was brought down throughout Spain to ninety kilometres per hour in line with France and Portugal. Creating a single speed limit for secondary roads could also assist non-native directors who have leased Spanish office space.
