Barcelona, December 12 – The Barcelona City Council has announced the activation of two new fixed-point speed cameras on the Ronda Litoral (B-10) as of today, Friday, December 12, 2025. These new enforcement devices are strategically placed at kilometer 16.1, with one camera monitoring each direction of travel, specifically near the Zona Franca area.
Commitment to Road Safety and Accident Reduction
The implementation of these automatic speed control systems is part of the municipal government’s ongoing commitment to significantly “increase road safety and reduce traffic accidents in the Catalan capital.” This initiative underscores the city’s proactive approach to safeguarding its citizens and road users.
Strategic Location Based on Accident Data
The decision regarding the precise location of these new speed cameras was a collaborative effort between the Mobility Area and the Guardia Urbana (local police). Both departments meticulously analyzed existing accident data to identify high-risk zones. The chosen point at kilometer 16.1 was selected to address areas where a higher number of accidents have been recorded, aiming to mitigate future incidents effectively.
The City Council emphasizes that these measures are not primarily punitive but are designed to encourage drivers to adhere to speed limits, thereby fostering a safer driving environment for everyone. The presence of these cameras is expected to act as a deterrent, prompting motorists to reduce their speed and drive more cautiously on this busy urban highway.
Broader Implications for Urban Mobility
This move is consistent with Barcelona’s broader urban mobility strategy, which includes various initiatives to promote safer and more sustainable transportation. The introduction of these speed cameras is a tangible step towards achieving the city’s vision of a safer urban landscape, where the risk of serious traffic incidents is minimized.
Further details regarding the effectiveness of these new cameras and their impact on accident rates will be monitored and evaluated by the City Council in the coming months. The authorities remain committed to adapting and enhancing their road safety measures based on data-driven insights and public feedback.
The City Council urges all drivers to respect speed limits and traffic regulations to ensure their safety and the safety of others on Barcelona’s roads.
