Goodbye to amber lights at traffic lights: the DGT (Spanish Directorate General of Traffic) modifies the regulations and requires vehicles to stop when pedestrians can cross.

Starting October 1, Spain's Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) will implement new regulations for traffic light operations at intersections. The update mandates that vehicles must come to a complete stop whenever pedestrian crossings are active, effectively eliminating the use of the amber light phase in these specific scenarios.

The policy change aims to resolve confusion for drivers and enhance safety for pedestrians at intersections. By modifying how traffic signals function, authorities intend to reduce risks associated with current signaling protocols.
