Driving in Spain

The national speed limit is 120 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways in Spain. On roads with more than one lane in both direction, it’s 100 km/h, and on ordinary roads, it’s 90 km/h.

In cities, such as Madrid and Barcelona, bus lanes carry specific rules. Some lanes are marked with "BUS-VAO", which stands for "Vehículos de Alta Ocupación" ("High Occupancy Vehicles"). This means that those lanes are exclusive to buses, motorcycles and cars with at least two (or three) people on board.

Throughout the country, you will find there is a paid parking system in place. In Madrid, for example, there are regulated "SER" parking zones, where spaces are indicated by blue or green lines. Parking is limited to 1 or 2 hours in these zones.

Elsewhere blue signs with "zona azul" ou "zona O.R.A." indicate parking zones. Maximum stay here is limited to two hours during the day, however there is no limit during 8pm to 8am. Rules around parking are enforced and the Police often give on the spot fines. These are reduced by 50% if you pay within 20 days of the fine occurring. Visiting motorists must pay their fines immediately.

Spain’s motorways have tolls which can be paid either with cash or credit cards. Most tolls also have an electronic payment system called “Telepeaje” or “Via T”. Drivers can buy these transmitters from banks or petrol stations and attach it to the windscreen of the vehicle.
