No! You Can’t Ignore the Signs in Car Parks!

📋 In general, traffic laws still apply in car parks, golf courses, industrial areas, commercial parks — basically, anywhere roads exist!

🔍 As Article 1 of Spanish Traffic Law explains:

Any public or communal road is subject to traffic regulations, whether the land is public or private.

🏛️ Traffic laws apply to:

Roads and public lands suitable for vehicle circulation (urban and interurban) 🚙🏙️

Private roads and land used by an indeterminate community of users 🛣️

đź“‹ Vehicles must:

âś… Pass the ITV (technical inspection)

âś… Have valid insurance

âś… Be driven by someone with the appropriate driving licence

🚨 Common mistake!

Many drivers think that on rural, unpaved, or unsigned roads, road safety rules do not apply.

⚠️ Wrong! You can still be fined for not wearing a seatbelt or using a mobile phone.

🏬 Example:

A supermarket car park is open during business hours — 🚦 Traffic laws apply.

After 22:00, when the barriers close and access is private, 👮‍♂️ traffic law no longer governs the internal rules — it becomes private property.

đź’¬ Remember: If the area is open to an undetermined number of users, Spanish traffic laws apply just like on public roads.
