Lower urban speed limits in Spain from May 2021
Urban speed limits are being dramatically reduced in Spain with effect from 11 May 2021. Many of the areas will be marked with signs but the limits are still in effect whether signed or not.
20km/h (12mph) on roads that have a single carriageway and path/sidewalk.
30km/h (18mph) on single-lane roads per direction of travel.
50km/h (31mph) on roads with two or more lanes per traffic direction.
Fines range from €100 to €600. Unlike the UK where speeding is not considered unless you are travelling at 10% plus 2mph over the limit (e.g. over 35mph in a 30 zone), the allowance in Spain is just 1km/h.
