REMINDER: Spain introduces new speed limits on roads from 11 May 2021 - Page 3

Thank you Kim for giving a thorough explanation. We are hoping to come out in September Covid allowing and knowing this before we arrive is so helpful. Thanks 

Hello Kimmy,

Everybody I have told about this thinks it must be fake news because they say it is ridiculous. Even the Spanish don’t appear to know about it. I fully trust what you are quoting, but it is very strange that it has not been  publicised more. Apparently there is nothing on the N332 FB page. People are doubting me, but I am replying ‘this is Spain, anything can happen’. I tried driving at 30 today and found it very difficult in an automatic, so good luck if you have a manual! Best regards.

Sorry Kim, I have just Googled and the new laws are all over the Internet. I knew that I had previously read something about this, it is so good to be right!! 😂 awful for us drivers though!

Hi Sheila,

I wonder whether the doubters will try to refute the official announcement on the Spanish government website! 😉

Kind regards,

Yes, saw this Kim, so knew it was true. There could be many fines me thinks. Thanks for this post, very important.

No problem Sheila 😀

Note to self: when I post an "easy to read" article, I should include a link to the official info as back-up to save other members being doubted by those who live in Spain with their head up their proverbial! 😉😆  (Please video reactions and share on here!)

By the way, I tried the new speed limits and realised that I'll only ever get out of 3rd gear if I travel on a motorway.  It may be worth a trip to Zenia Boulevard (out of season, of course) just to remind my car it has a 4th and 5th gear! 🤣

Best wishes,

Kim

Good morning Kim,

When you do hit the gas, and drive to La Zenia, please let me know. It would be great to meet for a coffee! The sun is shining this morning, so I am off to San Miguel market. 🌝

Just a thought, I wonder if the sat-nav will increase the journey times 😂 Have a lovely day!

Looks like people will be getting fitter then because they'll probably choose to just walk through town. Or by a mobility scooter which is 2mhp slower than what they are going to put certain parts of benidorm. 

They have done so already along with cameras 

I assumed that the 50km/hr included the N332, but is this an urban road? A Spanish police officer has said no! 🤨
