Watch your speed the speed limit signs have been changed this week on the CV-905 road from Torrevieja towards Quesada, certainly as far as San Luis.
The speed limit has been reduced from 80 to 50 kmh, a significant adjustment,

thanks for the message,

Just drove down there.Was told that yesterday the police stopped quite a few cars. What I don't understand is it's a dual carriageway. 80 to 50 is ridiculous. The police must be short of money.

The speed limit through Los Montesinos, a very busy little town with a narrow high street is set at 50kph, so how on earth can they justify a similar limit on a dual carriageway.

I would like to know the reason why it's been reduced that much.

Having seen a few cars across the Roundabouts I'm not surprised. The Police were always having Radar Traps on that road.

Road safety, SPEED KILLS,
don't know why they make some cars with five gears ,its hard work trying get into 4th on some roads,

It will be difficult for many to limit themselves to 31mph on a dual carriageway. I drove along there today at that speed and everyone overtook me.

I often find that if I stick to the speed limit then everyone overtakes me! This isn't a problem on dual carriageways, but on single-lane roads I get cars behind me hooting and flashing their lights ... so I have to speed up! And the Lemon Tree Road has so many speed signs, so close together, can anyone really brake and accelerate like that without upsetting the driver following?

I drove down there on Monday and noticed the new speed restrictions and adhered accordingly . Was overtaken by all other drivers on that stretch and even beeped at ....obviously for going too slow for some drivers
