Spain traffic enforcement and road safety regulations

Overview

Traffic enforcement and regulations in Spain have focused on both stationary violations and active road safety campaigns. Initial reports highlighted the legal consequences for unauthorized parking in spaces reserved for persons with reduced mobility, noting that such actions constitute a serious violation carrying a 200 euro fine. Advocacy groups, including the Spanish Committee of Representatives of Persons with Disabilities (CERMI), have called for stricter penalties, such as the loss of driver's license points.

Subsequent enforcement actions by local police included targeted safety campaigns. In Vícar, authorities conducted inspections to monitor driving distractions, specifically mobile phone use. In Roses, a campaign targeting personal mobility vehicles (VMP), such as electric scooters, resulted in numerous citations for operating without documentation, failing to wear protective gear, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Fines for these mobility infractions ranged from 100 to 300 euros.
