On the road, alcohol kills
Driving under the influence of alcohol remains a significant road safety issue in Spain, contributing to hundreds of deaths and serious injuries annually. Alcohol impairs crucial driving abilities like coordination, attention, vision, and decision-making, with effects intensifying based on factors such as consumption amount, individual characteristics, and combination with other substances.
Government Approves New Spanish Road Signs
The Spanish Government has approved an update to its official catalogue of traffic signs, effective July 1, 2025. This reform adapts signage to modern social, technological, and mobility changes, introducing new signs for personal mobility vehicles, updating pictograms, and removing obsolete ones. The gradual physical replacement of signs aims for a unified, clearer, and more inclusive road signage system across the country.
Dealing with Tractors
During spring and summer, tractors and other agricultural vehicles become more common on Spanish roads, often travelling slowly and requiring extra caution from other drivers. Understanding their road positioning, speed restrictions, and licensing requirements is essential for safety. Motorists should maintain a safe distance, overtake only when it’s clearly safe, and be especially mindful on rural and interurban roads. Patience and respect are key when sharing the road with agricultural machinery.
