DGT map including all roads closed by demonstrations.

Knowing the condition of the roads and knowing if they are closed or if there has been an incident, such as a demonstration, is critical to organizing your trip. To find out, we often use the most common mapping applications on our mobile devices, such as Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps. But, Did you know that there is another way that may even be much more accurate? All this thanks to DGT.

Although this is not the most intuitive way when it comes to know traffic status or know which roads are closed Due to the demonstrations, since there is no mobile app, it can be especially helpful to check which roads are closed before starting your trip. This is an interactive map that the Civil Guard’s traffic unit and those responsible for the DGT traffic control centers update constantly, 24 hours a day.

This DGT map can be accessed from this website and it allows you to check the traffic levels on almost all roads in Spain, including motorways, motorways, regional roads, minor roads, etc. In addition, we reiterate if they will be cut off due to demonstrations such as the farmers’ demonstration.

These are the indicators of the DHT map

In particular, the DGT map shows different road conditions. Those that appear black mean that blood circulation is being cut off.. This could be due to adverse weather conditions, an accident, or because the site is under construction. Points shown in red This means that blood circulation is obstructed. That is, it may mean that there is a lot of traffic jams or only one lane of traffic is available.

On the other hand, the DGT map also shows yellow call sign which reflects that the road has an uneven section; This could be due to construction work, an object on the road, a two-vehicle collision obstructing lane movement, etc. Finally, there is also a green status, which means that the road is in a conditioned state for some reason – e.g. , in connection with construction. Despite this, blood circulation is normal and not interrupted.

The DGT map also shows the reason for the road closure and the approximate duration of the incident, something that cannot be seen in apps such as Google Maps. Finally, you can also view a list of incidents with traffic information. Unfortunately, all this is in a rather outdated and poorly optimized interface. But again, in some cases this can be useful.
