Spain Road Signs

Road signs of Spain are based on European Union regulations so that they are, if not the same, similar in all countries of the EU (Vienna Convention). Due to the importance of road safety, there is an international agreement to maintain the same format in vertical signage. Thus, although each country makes slight variations in the type of signals, the most important signals remain in common: stop, give way, etc. Speed limit signs are the same throughout Europe as well as the indication signs.

1. Signs Categories

Regulatory Signs

• Prohibitory: Circular with red borders (e.g., speed limits, no entry).
• Mandatory: Circular with blue background (e.g., turn directions, chains required).
• Restriction signs: Indicate weight, height, or lane usage limits.

Warning Signs

• Triangular with red borders. Warn of road hazards such as curves, animal crossings, or steep slopes.

Priority Signs

• Stop (octagon): Mandatory full stop.
• Yield (inverted triangle): Slow down and give way.
• Priority road or end of priority: Indicate roads where you have priority or not.

Informative Signs
