The Salamanca highway that has the highest accident rate in the province

The RACE Foundation has published for yet another year the evaluation of Accidents on the State Highway Network 2025, a new report that suggests which roads in Spain are the most dangerous and where more caution should be taken when driving on them.

Castilla y León has a total of ten roads with dangerous accident rates, three of them being divided into red level and the rest into black level. Where there is the greatest risk of an accident would be in León, on the N-6, as it passes through Carracedelo; while they would be followed by Burgos and the N-629, the national road that runs from Burgos to Santoña; and finally in Zamora the N-631, through the Ricobayo reservoir area.

The Salamanca section would be eighth in the ranking of road accidents, with the section between Ciudad Rodrigo and Carpio de Azaba, on the A-62, from kilometer 326 to 331, being the most dangerous in the Salamanca province.

It should be noted that last year there were three sections with high accident rates in the province of Salamanca, these being the sections of the highways that pass through Sancti-Spíritus, Béjar and Guijuelo.

The difference between the data obtained in 2025 and 2026, Salamanca still presented a medium risk index, with Zamora being the province with a significantly higher number, more specifically that of the Ricobayo reservoir.

This risk index is measured with several factors. To do this, the number of fatal accidents or serious incidents per 1,000 million vehicles per kilometer is counted, which has produced a series of data that has put the spotlight on some areas of Salamanca’s roads. In addition, it includes not only the compared accident rate in the year of analysis, 2025, but also the previous three.
