During the summer season, Sevilla has experienced significant traffic congestion on major access roads as travelers return from coastal areas.

Earlier reports indicated heavy delays and accidents on the A-49, AP-4, and A-471 highways, particularly affecting those traveling from the Cádiz coast. Specific incidents included an accident near Huévar del Aljarafe and a stalled vehicle on the A-49.
