Driving a car in Andalucia or Spain is very similar to driving in other countries of the European mainland. You have to drive on the right. The following points should serve as a guide. ObligationsThe law demands that
Speed LimitsThe following speed limits apply unless otherwise indicated:
Road RulesThe following general rules apply unless otherwise indicated:
SignpostsSignposting is generally not good and sometimes inconsistent. Old signs are often not taken down when new roads make them redundant. This can lead to conflicting directions. 'Cambio de Sentido' indicates an opportunity to do a U-turn. MotorwaysMost of the major Andalucian cities are linked through fast motorways. Toll is due for using some of them such as the motorways from Seville to Jerez and/or Cadiz and from Malaga to Marbella and/or Estepona. Older motorways may have poor road surfaces which are being slowly repared. Please take care in these sections. PetrolAlmost all garages sell petrol at the maximum price permitted by the government. This varies periodically, but as a guide (autumn 2000):
Most of the newer petrol stations are self service, many of the older ones are attendant service. Many garages are open 24 hours. You always put petrol in first then pay at the desk, an exception to this rule may be at night. Credit cards are universally accepted. Tipping is unusual despite what you may read in many guide books. Driving StyleDrivers are generally impatient. They will beat the horn if you delay starting at a green traffic light. Do not give way, out of pure politeness, when you don't have to, since this won't be expected and will only lead to confusion. Please keep also in mind that flashing headlights mean 'Back off! I'm coming!' - quite contrary to some other countries. Number PlatesSpanish number plates begin with the letter code for the province. The following table lists the Andalucian province codes. A car from another province is probably travelling and may well be unfamiliar with the road.
