Overview
- DGT will begin a two-stage Easter travel plan later this week to handle more than 17 million long-distance road trips.
- Traffic officers, eight control centers, speed radars, phone and seatbelt cameras, and daily air patrols will enforce rules and monitor flow.
- Temporary reversible lanes, paused roadworks, alternate routes, and targeted truck restrictions will ease pressure on the busiest corridors.
- The V-16 hazard beacon is now mandatory when a vehicle stops for an incident, and its alerts feed DGT 3.0, which logs about 2,700 activations each day.
- The upgraded 011 line uses speech tech to transcribe calls, spot key details, assess caller emotion, and assist in Spanish, English, Catalan, Galician, and Basque as officials try to avoid last year’s 27 road deaths, including 8 motorcyclists.
