I would be grateful for you letting us know, if the police stop you, how they take and react to your entirely reasonable urban road argument. (Entirely politely naturally)

The police were up the Crevilente road this afternoon on the roundabout where the man sells flowers (the fruit stall which got burnt out) stopping drivers book in hand ready for fining. As we drive a little further a car parked on the slip road by that little house, one person in it. Radar gun perhaps?

They have been sitting there for months and have captured quite a few cars they are there at least 2-3 times a week sometimes early mornings, getting those going to work to torre, also midto late afternoons, always the same radar gun in car and stopping the offended at the roundabout this was before the new speed restrictions came into play

These speed limits mean that the police can turn up anytime any place and raise a bundle of cash. Road safety? My posterior. :D

Not one person on here has mentioned the reason why we have these new limits, its to save lives.

Unless you are at work what is the rush. Just relax and take your time. Sunny days and all that

If the road speed signs haven’t changed would they still be able to fine you?
