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.
Spain’s traffic chief Pere Navarro has defended the mandatory V-16 emergency beacon, calling it a major step forward in roadside safety while dismissing criticism.
The V-16 was not introduced to modernise road equipment, nor to satisfy technological ambition. It was introduced because people were dying.
Most accidents happen in poor light or bad weather. Knowing what to do — and what your insurance covers — can make the aftermath far less stressful.
We have launched a dedicated N332 page for v-16 emergency lights, bringing together official guidance, approved resources, and our first downloadable N332 Signpost pocket snapshot booklet.
