TRAFFIC RULES IN SPAIN

It would be a pity if your trip to the Aragón circuit for the MotoGP race would come with a fine. Check out our tips on how to enjoy the MotoGP race in Spain.

Speed limits

• Motorways: 120 km/h
• Main roads: 90 km/h
• Cities: 50 km/h

Toll roads

As of 2024, many toll roads in Aragón and other parts of Spain have become toll-free due to recent changes. Notably, the AP-2 motorway, which connects Zaragoza with El Vendrell (Tarragona), no longer charges tolls. Additionally, sections of the AP-7 have also been made toll-free as part of a broader plan to eliminate fees on several highways across Spain.

Drinking and driving

Spain is known for its fantastic wines, but the country's laws on drinking and driving are strict. The blood alcohol limit is 0.5 grams per litre, which is roughly equivalent to two glasses of wine. Exceeding this limit can result in penalties starting at 300 euros, and more severe violations could cost you 600 euros, your driver's licence, or if you're a Spanish driver, 6 points from your licence.

Additional driving rules

• Seatbelts: Seatbelt use is mandatory for all passengers, including those in the back seats.
• Mobile phones: Using a mobile phone while driving without a hands-free system is strictly prohibited and can result in fines.
• Parking: Be cautious of parking restrictions, especially in urban areas. Illegal parking can result in your vehicle being towed, and fines may apply.
• Child Safety: Children under 135 cm in height must use a suitable child seat and must always travel in the back seat.
