A few facts about the M-30

Each day more than one and a half million users use this Madrid way to travel. And every day also, more than 300 professionals work to make the circulation as fluid and safe as possible.

A ring of 32.5 kilometers in length

M-30 is a ring of 32.5 km in length, which allows its users travelling within the city to save time, and those driving to the centre of Spain to turn towards their preferred destination. Taking into account main roads and branches the M-30 has a total of 200 passable kilometers. The total length is supervised by Emesa, so motorists can enjoy their trips hassle-free and as safely as possible.

2,000,000 daily journeys

One may wonder what it entails to have over 2 million daily users who cover an average of 9 million kilometres. Handling such traffic volume requires the kind of professional, highly-qualified team that EMESA has. From the Control Centre to the maintenance team, all our professionals ensure user safety and a first-rate service, 365 days a year.

48 kilometres of underground tunnels

The M-30 tunnels constitute the largest network of urban tunnels in Europe. They move the traffic out of the city centre and make trips more pleasant for both road users and residents. The tunnels boast state-of-the-art safety measures and equipment to ensure their continued operation.

30 grade-separated junctions

Enabling users to enter and leave the city centre. Each is equipped with the latest trends in innovation and safety to facilitate transit.

Traffic Incident Management

13,000 incidents per year swiftly managed to keep the road clear as long as possible.

Real-time information

More than 500 variable-message signs informing users of what is happening on the road and of important events in the city.

Scheduled works

EMESA performs different works to keep the M-30 in running order.
