Have you Noticed the Red Lines at the Back of Trucks?
Have you noticed the red lines on the back and sides of trucks in Spain? These aren’t just for looks! Since late 2024, these reflective red stripes (officially the V-23 road sign) are mandatory for most large trucks, trailers, and semi-trailers registered after July 10, 2011. Their purpose is crucial for road safety, clearly outlining the vehicle’s size and making it highly visible at night and in poor weather conditions. While voluntary for older vehicles (registered before 2011), their use is strongly recommended to enhance visibility and safety on Spanish roads.
