Your Unanswered Driving Questions Answered – August 2024

Every month, hundreds of thousands of people search the N332.es for their driving questions, and whereas most of them find the answers they are looking for, occasionally the information isn´t there, or sometimes their questions are too vague, so each month now, we will pick out some of those unanswered driving questions and answer them, in brief, and if any need elaborating, we will do that on the website.

So, here is our pick of 5 from the August 2024 searches:

What does a cow sign mean when driving?

There are a number of different warning signs relating to animals on the road, on this occasion, the pictogram that looks like a cow warns of animals under control, such as a cattle track, or perhaps goats, sheep etc, but moving together with human companions.

What does a horizontal triangle sign mean?

Triangular signs on poles generally mean a warning sign, in other words, they are warning of a hazard ahead, either actual or potential. The exception of the inverted sign which refers to give way. If you see the triangle painted on the road, it refers to the give way junction ahead.

Driving in Spain left or right?

In Spain, we drive on the right. In fact, the law dictates that we drive as close to the right as possible, generally, unless something prevents this. This applies on roads with one lane, and multiple lanes. On a road with more than one lane in each direction, the righthand lane is the normal driving lane, additional lanes are for overtaking only, unless indicated that their use is for directional or separation purposes.

Itv Desfavorable meaning?

There are urgent repairs that must be done on your vehicle following the ITV inspection. This is a lesser problem than “negativa”, which would prevent us from driving away from the test centre, but none the less is serious enough that the repairs should be carried out as soon as possible, and in general terms, return to the test centre within 2 months for a retest, which would normally be free.

Green painted lines on road?

We have covered this a number of times over the few years they have been present. They are part of a concept of traffic calming measures, designed to encourage vehicle drivers to slow down and be more careful in problematic areas.
