The DGT is still in its crusade so that Drivers respect the speed limitsSomething that led to wanting to install 122 new radars in 2025. Leaving Pegasus aside, our roads are now controlled by section radars and mobile radars, all forming a single network distributed by all the important roads in our country.
These radars are all former known to drivers, but the DGT also moves to introduce new road control devices. Mobile radars are their main weapon for this because they are more versatile than those fixed. For this reason, the DGT already has a new device of this type: Trailer radar.
A versatile radar capable of taking many photos in a short time
Contrary to what is happening with fixed radars (whose location does not change), the great tip of each mobile radar is, as obvious, that it can rotate its location. In this way, drivers They will not notice their locationSomething that pushes them to respect the speed limits so as not to be condemned to a fine. With new trailer radars, this increases.
These new devices, which can already be seen on certain roads in Catalonia and are also called radar cars, stand out to be Very easy to move and install And to have great autonomy. In fact, they do not even depend on the electric current, which gives the DGT a little easier to put them in small visible places.
For the detection of traffic offenses, these trailer radars use a laser sensor system. Thanks to this, you can follow a vehicle over several meters and thus calculate its speed almost instantly. In addition: he is capable of Check several ways and take several snapshots at the same time. A Tiktok user was able to locate one of them.

Another interesting point is that they have an internet connection. Thanks to this, they are able to manage sanction filess without the need for a traffic agent. This, added to their mobility and their autonomy, makes them more independent and precise when checking the roads.
New radars will also arrive which do not measure the speed
It is obvious that most accidents on the road are produced by vehicles which circulate above the speed limit, but that is not the only reason. Do not comply with other basic circulation standards is also just as important, and precisely for the same reason, the DGT is also found Test a new radar that goes to this line: The stop radar.
As the name suggests, this radar aims to control that drivers comply with these signals. It has a video system that records an unlimited number of vehicles approaching the crosses. If the vehicle reaches it and does not stop, the image moves to the CTDA (Automatic plainment Treatment Center) and its team decides whether or not it is an offense.
We can still take the time to see these stop radars on our roads, but taking into account that the fine for this offense is 200 dollars and 4 less points on the cardIt is practical that we are very aware of signaling.
