Next Thursday, July 25, is a holiday in five autonomous regions: Cantabria, Galicia, Madrid, Navarra and the Basque Country. In addition to the trips that come from this festival, people who start their vacation, those who finish it, and those who will enjoy the weekend or the weekend will usually be on the road.

For this reason, DGT expects some 7.5 million road trips, and has provided a special control and surveillance service. This company requires special caution from drivers who will travel on traditional roads, short journeys and a large presence of motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians.

The special event will start at 3:00 pm on Thursday 24th and will end at midnight on Sunday, July 28. In addition to the autonomous communities and regions where Santiago Day is a holiday, in Castilla la Mancha, the region Valencian and the regions of Segovia, Ávila and Jaén, despite not celebrating the holiday on Thursday, they are still part of the important work of the DGT since they are areas of influence and traffic in the regions that are holidays.

The greatest circulation problems are expected on Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday morning at the exits of large cities and also on the main communication routes, these become more pleasant as the day progresses, until the evening – night, move them to the tourist areas.

To facilitate travel, Traffic has planned a series of traffic regulations, if the intensity of the traffic requires it, such as the installation of a diversion and additional roads with cones and markings during peak hours; establishing recommended alternative itineraries according to origin and destination; stop the arts; the limitation of the suspension of sports events and other events that affect the operation of the road and the restriction on the circulation of trucks in general and the transportation of dangerous goods, and special transport on sections, days and times.

The entire reporting system can be consulted both nationally and by autonomous region on the website in the Business Status / Recommendations / Special Services section, or by clicking [AQUÍ].

Traffic emphasizes once again that understanding and respect for traffic laws are the only weapons to combat accidents at the wheel. So far this summer (since July 1) 77 people have died on the road.

Furthermore, DGT reminds that in the summer way the users have to take into account the important characteristics of traffic:

• Greater vehicle traffic on secondary roads.

• Greater presence of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on the road.

• Conflict reports on roads connecting coastal towns and coastal tourist areas with beaches.

• There are many local festivals throughout the country.

• Increase in overnight trips.

Great search on all roads in the national territory of cars with foreign license plates to tourist areas and beaches, and to the border points of their countries of origin in the City Portugal and the Maghreb.

In order to implement the whole mechanism, the DGT has the maximum presence of its human resources (Representatives of the Traffic Group of the Civil Guard, the official staff of the Traffic Control Centers, Helicopter patrols and personnel who maintain the equipment and the installation of roadways) and with technical means (fixed and mobile speed control radars, as well as aircraft, drones and cameras to control the use of mobile phones and seat belts).
