School buses in Spain may look like regular buses, but when carrying children they follow specific rules. Drivers must recognise the signs, understand the restrictions, and adapt their behaviour accordingly.
Spain is strictly enforcing the transition from traditional warning triangles to connected V-16 emergency beacons to protect stranded motorists from the extreme dangers of walking on live motorways.
