THE speed limit on Spanish motorways will return to 120kph from July 1 after the government decided not to maintain the reduced 110kph limit which had been in place since March.
Reports had suggested the switch could cost 600,000 euros, but Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for the Interior Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba stated that ‘the measure no longer made sense’.
However, he did concede that the measure had worked, having resulting in savings of 450 million euros since its introduction on March 7.
