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.
This week on the N332 Driving in Spain podcast, we’re all about the school run! We’re breaking down the rules for walkers, cyclists, and drivers to make sure every journey to school is as safe as it can be.
Overtaking is one of the most common, yet potentially dangerous, manoeuvres on the road. In Spain, the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) places significant emphasis on clear regulations and signage to mitigate risks.
