Some see it every day on their way to work, others may have driven past it on a trip, and many others may not have even noticed it, but they’ve received a “souvenir” from it upon arriving home. The speed camera that issues the most tickets in Spain is located in Valencia, on one of the country’s main highways— the A-7, heading toward Madrid and Alicante—a route we’ve all traveled at some point.
This speed camera holds the dubious distinction of being the top issuer of traffic fines nationwide, with a total of 90,766 citations recorded in 2025—surpassing the second-place camera by more than 18,000. That means that in the most recent year on record, this speed camera would have generated nearly 19 million euros in revenue.
According to data from the DGT (General Directorate of Traffic) and a study by the AEA (European Motorists’ Association), 2025 was a record year for revenue from traffic violations: nearly 250 million euros, excluding the Basque Country and Catalonia, representing a 14% increase over the previous period.
Exact location of the speed camera that issues the most tickets in Spain
Although regulars on this route probably know by heart exactly where they need to be especially careful when stepping on the gas, some may have been caught off guard. After being deactivated in 2024, the DGT put this speed camera back into operation in early 2025, and the pace is even more surprising than the numbers: one citation every 6 minutes.
The “king of traffic tickets” is located at kilometer 326 of the A-7 (or Autovía del Mediterráneo) near La Canyada. The speed limit on this stretch is 120 kilometers per hour, although it’s clear that many drivers don’t follow this rule.
In Valencia, in addition to this one, there are two other devices that rank among the top twenty in the country for issuing the most tickets : the one located at kilometer 3 of the CV-410 (with nearly 30,000 citations annually) and the one located at kilometer 349 of the A-3 (with more than 25,000 recorded incidents).
