Violators face a hefty fine of 200 Euros.

t goes without saying that traffic rules are there for a reason. It's also a common saying that rules are meant to be broken, and let's be honest, all of us have broken a few traffic rules on occasion, especially when we know nobody is looking. Having said that, technology has all but surely ensured that this will no longer be the case, as these days, there's always someone watching.
Let's take a look at Spain, for example, where the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has installed and begun testing new cameras that can detect whether or not a vehicle has come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Cameras on the road are nothing new. Red light cameras and speed cameras have been around for decades. Stop sign cameras, on the other hand, are a fairly new thing in Spain, and are designed to immediately detect whenever a driver (or motorcycle rider) doesn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

New Stop Sign Cameras In Spain Fine Drivers For Not Coming To A Full Stop
© Provided by RideApartBy complete stop, the DGT means a complete stop – and not a rolling stop. For car drivers this means stopping completely before proceeding. For motorcyclists, it may be a good idea to come to a complete stop, then put a foot down, then get going. You know, just to make it abundantly clear to the camera that you have indeed come to a complete stop.
In Spain, failing to obey a stop sign has become a common infraction, drastically increasing the risk of accidents. According to DGT data, approximately 1,100 drivers involved in fatal traffic incidents disregarded the Stop sign. This problem is becoming more prevalent, with an increasing percentage of drivers deciding not to come to a complete stop at this sign, instead relying on their visual judgment.

The times we've been hooted at for stoping at a stop sign and then they get abusive. One by us I'd say is unnecessary as you can see right up the road but it says stop do we do but so many don't like it. I always hope and pray nobody is behind us when hubby drives because if they hoot him He'd stop for longer.

Well I'm pretty sure when these cameras are installed then no one has any reason to blast horns, they just need to suck it up

They should put them Zebra Crossings First..
That would stop a multitude of Traffic Violations.
Parking, Not Stopping, Overtaking... To Name only 3
