What the green lines on the sides of Spanish roads mean

The green lines painted on the verges of some Spanish roads are visual warning signals to promote more cautious driving, without modifying traffic regulations.

Some drivers in Spain have noticed green lines painted on the sides of certain roads, a new feature that raises questions about their purpose. The explanation is simpler than it seems.

These green markings act as a visual warning signal designed to encourage more careful driving on problem stretches. They do not involve changes to traffic regulations or new restrictions for drivers.

The measure, promoted by the DGT, aims to reduce road casualties through visual alerts in areas requiring special attention. The lines complement traditional vertical signage.

Drivers on the Costa Blanca may encounter these markings on roads in the province of Alicante, particularly on stretches with higher accident rates or requiring greater caution behind the wheel.
