For all of those who are thinking about travelling to Spain around Easter or the next months
The Council of Ministers has approved today a decision to reduce the speed limit on Spanish highways and motorways from the current 120 km / h to 110 km / h "on a transitional basis." The First Deputy Prime Minister, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, said that this is an emergency measure implemented in Spain to save fuel, although he refused to say how long the measures will last for.
The maximum speed limit on Spanish motorways is 120kph (75mph) and this will be reduced to 110kph (68mph). The government will rush to print new signs to alert people of the change, this move will save around 15% of fuel.
The measures will come into effect on March 7.
