On rural and conventional roads, animals can appear suddenly, especially around bends where visibility is limited. Reducing speed is the most effective way to manage this risk.
Cyclists and pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. On conventional roads, where speeds are higher, giving space and reducing speed are critical to preventing serious injury.
On conventional roads in Spain, one of the most common types of serious collision involves vehicles leaving the carriageway. In many cases, inappropriate speed is a key contributing factor.
Road signs and markings provide essential information, yet many drivers stop actively observing them on familiar routes. Conditions can change at any time, and failing to notice those changes increases risk.
Road works are a common sight in spring and summer. Temporary speed limits and yellow-backed signs are there to protect both drivers and workers in high-risk environments.
