The speed cameras in Mallorca that aren't working
There are 15 cameras in all in Mallorca
The six new speed radars that the DGT traffic directorate installed in Mallorca in the final quarter of 2024 are not yet issuing fines as they aren't operative. The reason why is that they are still waiting for National Metrological Centre reviews; the weather, especially extreme weather conditions, can affect their reliability.

Excess speed kills. We all know that as a fact. A crash at 30 will have a markedly different outcome to a crash at 100. However, that’s only one facet of the problem of road deaths and injuries. It is also down to really poor driving standards generally like: suicidal (or homicidal) overtaking, driving up someone’s rear bumper, not indicating, being on the phone, being pissed, stoned or both and generally not giving a toss about anyone else on the road. Every day. Chances of being caught? Nil.
Going the same way as the uk now, easy money victimising vehicle owners for minor speed infractions.
Just like everything else on Mallorca. Not working.
