N332. New Speed Limits

From N332

 

Don’t forget the changes in some speed limits in Spain from next Tuesday! ? ? 

 

SPEED LIMITS: On May 11th, 2021 speed limits in Spain will change, as 6 months have passed since this new law’s publication in the #BOE by Royal Decree 970/2020, of November 10th that modifies the RGC. 

 

NEW GENERAL SPEED LIMITS on URBAN ROADS, the following:

 

 2️⃣0️⃣ km / h on roads that have a single carriageway and path/sidewalk. 

 3️⃣0️⃣ km / h on single lane roads per direction of travel. 

 5️⃣0️⃣ km / h on roads with two or more lanes per traffic direction.

 

These apply within towns / villages / cities, urban areas. 

 

FINES for EXCEEDING the SPEED set by the road, depending on how much the imposed limit is exceeded, can be either SERIOUS or VERY SERIOUS, thus differentiating the amount of the penalty. 

 

The margin for mistakes will always be applied to the corresponding speeds of course. You will not be fined for going exactly 1km over the speed limit! Don't forget they allow space for mistakes ;)

 

Thanks Policia Local San Pedro del Pinatar for the reminder :)FB_IMG_1620213920318FB_IMG_1620215425163

Answers about the covid vaccine appointments.

 

➡️If your year has been called but you haven't received an appointment

 

➡️First check at your medical centre to see if they have the appointments on file.

 

➡️If not by all means go to the appointment but please be aware they may turn you away and make sure you go to the information point

 

UPDATE: according to reports they will turn you away if you are not on the list, this is because they have the correct amount of vaccines allocated to those on the list. 

 

➡️ YOU can also ring the hotline 662 97 66 13 but be aware they may not speak English and the ladies running it are extremely busy

 

➡️ If you are not covered by the health service and have signed up under temporary cover, you can't ring as they can't find you in the system. Be patient they will get to you. Some folks have received their SMS so its happening. 

 

➡️ If you have underlying conditions that you want them to be aware in regards to which vaccine they give, please ask your doctor for a report (informe) and listado de medicación to take with you

You cannot choose which one they give you.

 

➡️ If You can't make the appointment they send you by SMS please reply with NO to the SMS and they will make you another appointment. 

 

➡️ You may be asked if you have had covid. If you answer yes they will ask when, if its within the last 6 months you won't be vaccinated. 

 

➡️If you haven't received a second appointment on the same day as the first don't worry it will sent before your second dose is required

 

I hope this helps everyone because I have answered the same queries over and over again
