Speed Limit at the Radar in Campoamor – Orihuela Costa

Also applies to similar roads across Spain!

What you need to know:

This is a conventional road with physical separation between directions.

By law, the road owner can set a 100 km/h limit for cars, motorbikes, and motorhomes under 3,500 kg.

But here’s the catch:

There is no sign indicating a 100 km/h limit before the radar.

So, the default speed limit of 90 km/h applies!

General Speed Limits (when no sign is present):

90 km/h on conventional roads

120 km/h on motorways

Fines & Penalty Points (for 90 km/h zones):

• 91–120 km/h → €100 (no points)

• 121–140 km/h → €300 -2 points

• 141–150 km/h → €400 -4 points

• 151–160 km/h → €500 -6 points

Always check the last posted sign and don’t assume a higher limit unless it’s clearly indicated!
