This 2024 brings with it new signs. This is an update of the traffic catalog that “reflects the change in today’s mobility,” according to Ana BlancoDeputy Deputy Director of Traffic at the DGT.
In fact, it tries to “adapt aspects of signage, especially some older ones, to changes in the field of mobility, especially in relation to modifications in vehicle technology and other aspects in a way that continues to maintain the highest level as a semiotic system, guaranteeing adequate understanding by all users to guarantee road safety and efficient travel,” explains the project.

This has been confirmed these days by the General Director of Traffic, Pere Navarro, who are working to adapt them with “criteria of equality”, a catalog that has been in force for 20 years. “New needs have appeared, from scooters, low-emission zones, emission limitations…”, Navarro points out.
And as far as equality criteria are concerned, Navarro adds that in many signs “the man appears and the woman is the one carrying the child, and, since everything changes, and very quickly, it seems like a good practice (to modify it).” “Even doing it with a little sensitivity and equality,” he concludes.
