The speed limit on Autovia's has reverted back to the previous 120kmp.
The reduction to 110 was introduced some 2/3 months ago, to:
save fuel: save lives: make Spain more "Green". (And just possibly, to obtain millions of euros in speeding fines?)

Probably all were achieved, as there was certainly a reduction of millions of litres of fuel used, but the financial genius who dreamt it all up failed to take into account just one little side effect - that less fuel used meant less fuel-tax revenue going to the Government.

So saving fuel, saving lives, making the Country more Green have all been put on the back-burner in favour of tax revenue, and up went the speed limit again.

I wonder if they'll dock the cost of all the hundreds of thousands of Stickers required, not to mention all the thousands of man hours in popping the stickers on every speed limit sign in Spain (and then removing them again) from his salary?

Or perhaps he's been transferred to Brussels to advise on their economic problems?
