76-567: A larger network of road than motorways, Spain is one of the countries with the lowest motorway fatality-rates per 1.000 km of motorways, after Finland, Denmark, Croatia, and Hungary: 18.1 fatalities per 1000 kilometers of motorways. Source: [1] Spain uses this color code for highways. Most of the high capacity roads in Spain are under the authority of the General Roads Directorate ( Spanish : Dirección General de Carreteras ) of
114-656: A lower traffic density, Spanish motorways remain profitable, because tolls are twice higher in Spain than in France. Between 2005 and 2014, Spain was the EU country which best performed for decreasing fatalities on motorways, with a decrease score of 66%. The distinction between two kinds of high capacity roads is mainly a historical one, seldom with practical consequences for most but the oldest motorways. Both kinds are divided highways with full access control and at least two lanes per direction. General speed limits for both are mandated by

At the same time, the new autovia standard was closer to the autopista standard, as the old autovia standard was understood as not providing enough safety. This generated increasing project costs. Since traffic density is generally lower in Spain than France, it was required that some motorways were to be untolled. Despite

228-460: Is considered that the construction of motorways has helped to increase safety in Spanish roads, while generating a traffic increase. Fatalities on motorways have decreased from 776 in 2006 to 277 in 2015. Spain is one of the countries of the EU with most of the road fatalities occurring on motorways rather than on other roads: 16% in 2015. But the same year, taking into account the fact that Spain has

Currently, roads are managed by the three Diputaciones Forales of the Basque provinces. The fact that such transfer took place before the thorough renaming of national roads and highways in 2003 makes the naming of transferred "national" highways inconsistent with

#1732891853460456-717: The Ministry of Public Works, a department of the central Government of Spain , with the exceptions of Navarre and the Basque Country , the only autonomous communities which have been transferred full powers over all roads in their territories. Usually, the DGC manages all road maintenance, but in the case of the tolled autopistas , the management is commonly delegated to the concessionaire company. Traditionally, purpose-built autopistas or autovías were assigned names starting with A plus one or two numbers describing their general orientation, while upgraded autovías kept their original names. Thus,
494-514: The Spanish Traffic Law as 60–120 km/h (35–75 mph), though there are groups that ask for the latter to be raised to 140 km/h (85 mph). Specific limits may be imposed based on road, meteorologic or traffic conditions. Autopistas are specifically reserved for automobile travel, so all vehicles not able to sustain at least 60 km/h (35 mph) are banned from them. Thus, they may not be an upgrade to an older road, since
532-543: The Spanish legislation requires an alternative route to be provided for such vehicles. Many, but not all, autopistas are toll roads, which also mandates an alternative toll-free route (though not necessarily a freeway) under the Spanish laws. An example is the AP-2 toll autopista, which links Zaragoza with Barcelona through the Monegros desert . In this case, the alternative is the N-II ,

Hence the first 724 km of the route is not signed. The E5 has a gap at the English Channel between Southampton and Le Havre , France . There is no direct ferry link, but a ferry from nearby Portsmouth , along the M27 , connects to Le Havre. The E5 arrives from
608-797: The authority of the Autonomous Communities . For example, the A-8 road in the Basque Country is a tolled autopista , as are the C-16, C-32 and C-33 in Catalonia. Other communities such as Madrid do follow the convention, and have names as MP-203 for a tolled road and M-501 for a free autovía . Furthermore, roads under the authority of the Andalusian government also start with A, but they have longer numeric codes and different coloring. The roads listed below form
646-885: The backbone of the Spanish high capacity network, connecting all provincial capitals and other major towns and destinations. Until recently, the network suffered from a high radiality, which collapsed the several Madrid beltways and the roads into the city and region. Since the 2000s, an effort to improve the situation was made based on two actions: *: under construction † : planned Fraga — AP-2 — Lleida (A-22, LL-11) — Cervera (C-25) — Martorell (AP-7) — B-23 — L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (B-10) Tordera (C-32) — * — Caldes de Malavella — Fornells de la Selva — † — Girona — † — Figueres — † — France Southern span : La Robla (N-630) — † — León (AP-66/AP-71, A-231) — Benavente (A-52/A-6) — Zamora (A-11) — Salamanca (A-62) — Plasencia (EX-A1) — Cáceres — Mérida (A-5) — Seville (SE-30) Most beltways, full or partial, have originated from
684-525: The country. There are two main types of such roads, autopistas and autovías , which differed in the strictness of the standards they are held to. Between 1990 and 2012 Spain had one of the highest rates of motorway growth in Europe. The first motorways named autopista were financed using sovereign debt. At the end of the 1980s, and before Olympic Games in 1992 in Barcelona, the autonomous Catalan government

The prefix denotes the island, and identifiers are usually white on blue background. Another community that has recently started building its own high capacity road network, Castilla-La Mancha has completed one autovía and has at least five more in varied states of advanced planning and building. In
760-568: The fact that most regional roads start with the letter A (for Andalucía ), which is also used by the national government for highways. The most notable Andalusian freeways are the A-92 or Washington Irving 's route (with 400 km from Seville to Granada and Almería is the longest regional freeway in Spain), the A-316 & A-318 or Olive Tree's route (200 km from Estepa to Úbeda, still under construction) and

874-491: The freeway that is currently known as A-5 was still reported as N-V in road signs for years after the upgrade was completed, making it difficult for drivers to know in advance which roads had become autovías. However, in 2003 all Spanish motorways were uniformly renamed with the following criteria: All such names are posted in white letters on blue background, like: A-49 or AP-4 . Note that none of these naming and coloring requisites affect roads under

Furthermore, new highways built since then by the provinces have one of the following prefixes: A for Álava -Araba , BI for Biscay ( Vizcaya-Bizkaia ) or GI for Guipúzcoa -Gipuzkoa . *: in construction — †: planned Following
1102-552: The national one. Whatever the extension of the road network under its control, all communities have full powers over naming and identification of their roads, provided no name conflicts with a national road or a regional road of a neighbouring community. The regional highway network of Andalusia is very extensive, as the territory itself spans nearly a fifth of Spain. There are no special codes for identifying highways: upgraded roads usually keep their name and sign color (orange, green or yellow). However, confusion sometimes arises due to
1140-496: The national road that preceded the A-2 autovía. On the other hand, autovías are usually (though not always) upgrades from older roads, and always untolled. In general, slow vehicles like bicycles and agricultural machinery are allowed under certain restrictions so as to not disrupt the traffic excessively or cause any danger. Furthermore, an autovía will most likely follow the original road very closely, only deviating from it to bypass
