Road transport operators: 3 months to adapt traffic management systems or face ITS non-compliance fines

Royal Decree 450/2026 repeals RD 662/2012 and amends Articles 37, 39, 139 and Annex II of the General Traffic Regulations, incorporating the transposition of Directive (EU) 2023/2661. It establishes a framework for the implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in the road transport sector, including obligations for technical adaptation and compliance with information and data protection standards. Operators must update their traffic management and driving rule compliance systems within 3 months of the entry into force.

In 2 key points

  1. Adaptation of traffic management and driving rule compliance systems within 3 months (art. 37, 39, 139 y anexo II del Reglamento General de Circulación)
  2. Repeal of Royal Decree 662/2012 and transposition of Directive (EU) 2023/2661 (disposiciones transitorias)

How it affects those involved

Road transport operators must update their traffic management and driving rule compliance systems. Traffic authorities will achieve greater efficiency in surveillance and traffic control. Transport consultants must incorporate the new ITS framework into their advisory services. Drivers may see improvements in road information and road safety, but will also face new technological compliance obligations.
