Are there speed cameras on Moroccan motorways?

Yes, Moroccan motorways and main roads have speed cameras and frequent police speed checks, often with radar guns and mobile units, so stick to the posted limits. The toll motorways (autoroutes) are well policed, and fines for speeding are issued on the spot, usually payable in cash there and then.

Limits are typically 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on open roads and much lower through towns and villages, where they drop sharply and are strictly enforced. Watch for sudden reductions entering built-up areas, which is where many drivers get caught.

Keep some cash for a possible on-the-spot fine, ask for a receipt, and don’t argue at a checkpoint. Driving at or just under the limit, with lights and documents in order, keeps these stops brief and routine.
