Spain’s roads are shared by millions of drivers, cyclists, scooter riders, and pedestrians. Understanding the rules that protect the most vulnerable helps prevent accidents and reduces insurance claims.
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.
