Spanish Traffic Law applies to all public and communal roads, whether on public or private land. This includes areas commonly used by an indeterminate community of users, such as supermarket carparks. Here, traffic regulations governing vehicle movement, safety, and driver qualifications, including vehicle inspections and valid insurance, are mandatory. Violations, such as not wearing a seatbelt, are punishable, even on rural or unmarked roads. The law pertains to all areas of common use, enforcing the same standards as in publicly accessible spaces.
Transporting dangerous goods requires a special ADR permit, ensuring drivers are trained in handling emergencies and specific hazardous materials. Originating from a European agreement in 1957, these regulations classify dangerous goods into nine general and thirteen specific classes, covering various risks like explosives, flammable materials, toxic substances, and radioactive items, among others. Each class outlines specific handling and storage guidelines to ensure safety during transport.
