Article 93 of the General Traffic Regulations repealed and Title VI added to protect vulnerable road users

Royal Decree 518/2026 repeals Article 93 of the General Traffic Regulations and introduces a new Title (VI) focused on the protection of vulnerable road users. This amendment aims to enhance the safety and rights of individuals at risk in traffic. The change directly affects regulations concerning the use of protective equipment and vehicle movement in high-risk areas (Article 93 repealed, Title VI added).

In 2 key points

  1. Article 93 of the General Traffic Regulations is repealed (art. 93 suprimido)
  2. Title VI is added to protect vulnerable road users (título VI añadido)

How it affects those involved

Vehicle drivers, particularly those of bicycles, motorcycles, and personal mobility vehicles, must comply with new provisions regarding individual protection and movement in vulnerable zones. Traffic authorities may apply these new rules during inspections and when issuing penalties. Traffic advisors should update their guides and recommendations to include the new Title VI. Vulnerable users (children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities) will benefit from increased regulatory protection.
