The Town Hall of Torrevieja has announced the installation of two additional radar cabins to monitor vehicle speeds within the urban area. The finished installations can be found on Avenida de Alfredo Nobel and Avenida de Baleares, aiming to enhance safety for both drivers and pedestrians. These new cabins join three existing ones, creating a total of five fixed radar cabins in the city, alongside mobile radar units.

The two new cabins are part of an investment that costs nearly fifty-eight thousand euros, including VAT, awarded to SICE, the same company responsible for public lighting maintenance in the area. This initiative intends to address speeding, particularly in locations that have seen serious accidents involving pedestrians. Prior enhancements included improved signage and educational radars.

The newly installed radar systems will undergo a calibration and testing period before activation, which could take several months. The local police plan to alternate the positions of the fixed devices throughout the year, ensuring that drivers remain unaware of their current operational status, which is expected to deter excessive speed effectively.

Additionally, since mid-2023, an earlier radar installation along with three cabins has been profitable, generating hundreds of fines for speeding offences. City technicians believe that these improvements will result in decreased accident rates in Torrevieja, contributing to greater overall road safety.
