With the introduction of the new Road Traffic Law, we not only have new rules aimed at ensuring safer traffic, but also special attention has been paid to cyclists, one of the most vulnerable groups.
And as our colleagues at Autobild found out, DGT wanted to remind them of a series of three rules they must follow to keep themselves safe, especially during this time of good weather when you’re cycling much more often, both in the countryside and in the countryside. big cities.
And for this, DGT used their official Twitter account to inform cyclists of 3 rules, which mainly highlight the following points that you should know.

- On a bicycle, it is obligatory to signal maneuvers, turns, change of direction.
- In the city and on the highway, it is advisable to use bike lanes, if any.
- Cyclists are also affected by maximum blood alcohol levels.
While it’s true that bike lanes are encouraged when possible, when they exist, Autobild also makes it clear that “In the city, bikes should ride as close to the right side of the road as possible, leaving a safe gap with the curb or with parked cars. And if they go in a group, they can circulate in a column of no more than two people.“.
Thus, in the case of walking around the city in a group without order, the fine will be 100 euros, but there are two exceptions, namely in Madrid and Barcelona.”Bicycles will move along the road, in certain lanes or areas designated for this purpose. When driving on a road, bicycles will move in the center of the lane they are currently using.or”.
