Starting October 1, 2026, a reform to the General Traffic Regulations in Spain mandates the creation of an emergency corridor for ambulances during traffic jams on highways and dual carriageways. Drivers are required to move their vehicles to the side to clear a path when traffic is moving slowly or is at a standstill.
This regulatory update aims to improve emergency response times by standardizing how motorists must react to approaching emergency vehicles in congested conditions. The measure formalizes a specific protocol for lane formation to ensure unobstructed passage for medical assistance.
