Beware of new red lines on Spanish roads
Crackdown on dangerous overtaking
The Spanish Directorate General for Traffic (DGT) has taken a further step in its commitment to road safety by introducing a new type of signage on Spanish roads: the continuous line in red. This measure, which complements the traditional white line, seeks to reduce accidents in particularly dangerous areas and reinforce the ban on overtaking in critical sections.

Victor MaitlandYou mean only tourists don't know the law or haven't got common sense? How about the locals. I think the red lines are more aimed for them.
Victor MaitlandPlenty of locals haven’t a clue and don’t seem to care much about driving rules. I don’t think a red line will deter the idiots. Visiting cyclists could do with some road sense input too.
Again, this, and potentially the proposed new rules on passing pedestrians and cyclists needs to be given out to anyone non resident in Spain when renting a car so they know the law.
