Almoradà has recently installed six educational speed cameras at the town’s entrances as part of a strategic plan to enhance road safety. These cameras will not impose penalties but will provide real-time feedback to drivers about their speed, aiming to encourage safer driving behaviours. The initiative is supported by a budget of three hundred and ninety thousand euros, with fifty per cent of the funding coming from the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness.
Additionally, the project includes plans for the installation of twenty-one surveillance and traffic cameras, complementing the existing sixty devices established since two thousand and twenty-two. These resources have previously assisted in detecting traffic violations and aiding local police investigations.
The newly installed speed cameras utilise a colour-coded system, where green indicates a safe speed within the limit of thirty kilometres per hour, while red warns of excessive speed. This immediate visual feedback is designed to capture drivers’ attention, promoting quicker and safer responses.
Furthermore, the local police force has been equipped with the latest TruCAM II radar technology, enhancing enforcement capabilities. This compact device can accurately measure the speed of vehicles up to one hundred and fifty metres away and can monitor two lanes of traffic simultaneously. Mayor MarÃa Gómez emphasised that the aim of these measures is not to penalise but to educate, fostering a safer community environment.
