This week we bring you urgent lessons from tragedies and policy changes across Europe, combined with fresh initiatives here in Spain.
Cycling is healthy and sustainable, but it comes with risks. Helmets are mandatory for under-16s and recommended for all. Bikes must have a bell, reflectors, and lights at night.
In Spain, pedestrians do not always have priority, except at marked crossings or when vehicles turn across their path. Tourists should note that pedestrians must use crossings where available, and drivers must stop when someone is waiting to cross.
Walking is healthy, but pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. Use pavements where available, and if not, walk facing traffic. Wear high-visibility clothing in poor light and avoid distractions such as phones or headphones.
