Key Motorway Corridors
AP-7 Mediterranean Corridor: Spain's most important coastal motorway runs from La Jonquera on the French border through Barcelona, Valencia, and Murcia to Almeria. Since the removal of tolls in 2021, traffic has surged, with the corridor now handling over 20,000 heavy vehicles daily and seeing a 21% increase in congestion severity in 2024. Hundreds of cameras line this route, monitoring tourist traffic and commercial freight. Sections alternate between toll autopista and free autovía — check feeds to gauge congestion at these transition points.
A-1 Madrid to Burgos: The northern radial climbs through the Somosierra pass in the Sierra de Guadarrama before descending to Castile's central plateau. Cameras at Somosierra are critical in winter when snow and ice close or restrict the pass. The route continues to the Basque Country and the French border at Irun.
A-2 Madrid to Barcelona: The main link between Spain's two largest cities passes through Guadalajara, Zaragoza, and Lleida. Cameras cover the Zaragoza bypass, the climb through Aragon's dry terrain, and the approach to Barcelona's metropolitan area. Heavy commercial traffic throughout.
A-4 Madrid to Seville: The southern radial descends through La Mancha and the dramatic Despeñaperros gorge into Andalusia. Cameras at Despeñaperros monitor one of Spain's most critical bottleneck passages, a narrow canyon cutting through the Sierra Morena. Holiday traffic on this route is intense during Semana Santa and summer.
A-6 Madrid to Galicia: The northwestern radial crosses the Guadarrama mountains via Spain's longest road tunnel (3.3 km) before traversing Castile and Leon to reach Galicia's Atlantic coast. Winter weather monitoring is essential through the mountain sections and the AP-66 León-Asturias connector.
M-30 and M-40 Madrid Ring Roads: Madrid's concentric ring motorways carry some of Spain's heaviest traffic. The M-30, partially tunneled through the Manzanares riverbed, has extensive camera coverage for its complex interchanges and tunnel sections. The M-40 outer ring connects all radial motorways and is monitored at every major junction.
Spain Road Safety
In 2024, Spain recorded 1,157 traffic deaths statewide, a decrease that aligns with national safety targets. Despite this, high-volume routes like the AP-7 in Catalonia have seen incident spikes, with 15 fatalities recorded in late 2025 alone. The country continues to modernize its infrastructure, implementing advanced monitoring systems in over 25,000 kilometers of mapped risk areas. Real-time camera monitoring is a vital tool for all drivers to identify hazards early and navigate safely through the nation's busy commercial and tourist corridors.

Seasonal Hazards in Spain
Spain's diverse geography creates varied driving hazards throughout the year. Summer heat in central and southern Spain can exceed 45°C, causing tire blowouts and engine overheating. Winter brings snow to mountain passes in the Sierra Nevada, Pyrenees, Cantabrian mountains, and central sierras. Mediterranean storms (gota fria) can cause flash flooding along the eastern coast from September through November. Fog blankets the Castilian meseta in autumn and winter mornings, reducing visibility on the A-1, A-2, and A-4 corridors.
Summer Driving (June-September):
- Heat advisories: Central Spain (Castile-La Mancha, Extremadura) and the Guadalquivir valley regularly exceed 40°C. Check cameras for road shimmer and haze that indicate extreme heat. Avoid midday travel on exposed motorways when possible.
- Tourist congestion: AP-7 and coastal routes experience heavy traffic from June through August. Monitor cameras at key bottlenecks near Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, and Alicante for real-time congestion levels.
- Holiday getaways (operación salida): DGT activates special traffic operations during major departure weekends. Cameras along radial motorways from Madrid show the exodus to coastal and mountain destinations.
Winter Driving (November-March):
- Mountain passes: Somosierra (A-1), Guadarrama (A-6, AP-6), Navacerrada, Pajares (AP-66), and Pyrenean crossings require snow chains or winter tires during storms. Camera feeds show current conditions at pass summits.
- Sierra Nevada: The A-395 to Europe's southernmost ski resort climbs to 2,100 meters. Cameras monitor snow conditions and road closures.
- Fog in Castile: The central meseta experiences persistent fog from November through February. Cameras along the A-1, A-2, A-4, and A-62 corridors help assess visibility before departing.
Mediterranean Storms (Gota Fria / DANA):
The eastern coast from Catalonia to Murcia is vulnerable to intense Mediterranean storms that can dump months of rainfall in hours. Camera feeds along the AP-7, coastal roads, and low-lying areas help monitor flooding conditions and road closures.
Spanish Driving Tips
Understanding Spain's road rules and driving culture helps you make the most of traffic camera feeds:
Speed Limits: 120 km/h on autopistas and autovías, 90 km/h on conventional roads, 50 km/h in urban areas (20 km/h in residential zones). Speed cameras (radares) are widespread; DGT publishes their locations.
Toll Roads vs. Free Motorways: Autopistas (AP-prefix) are toll roads; autovías (A-prefix) are free. Many AP sections have been converted to free autovías in recent years, but some remain tolled, particularly the AP-7 in Catalonia, AP-9 in Galicia, and AP-68 in Aragon/Basque Country.
Roundabout Rules: Spain uses right-hand traffic with priority to vehicles already in the roundabout. Multi-lane roundabouts require lane discipline: use the outer lane if taking the first or second exit, inner lane for later exits.
Siesta-Time Traffic Patterns: Urban traffic drops significantly between 2:00-5:00 PM in many Spanish cities, especially in summer. Camera feeds during these hours often show unusually light traffic on city streets, while motorways remain busy.
ITV Vehicle Inspections: Spain's Inspección Técnica de Vehículos (ITV) is mandatory for all vehicles. If driving a rental or Spanish-registered vehicle, ensure the ITV is current, as roadside checks occur on major corridors.
Emergency Corridors: On multi-lane motorways, Spanish law requires creating an emergency corridor between the left lane and adjacent lane when traffic stops. Camera feeds help anticipate where congestion builds so you can prepare.
