Navigate Spanish roundabouts and intersections with confidence. This unit covers essential DGT rules for yielding at roundabouts and understanding priority at uncontrolled junctions, ensuring safe urban riding for AM license holders.
Browse all lessons that make up Roundabouts & Intersection Priorities. Each lesson focuses on specific topics, learning objectives, and core concepts, helping you build essential knowledge and follow a clear, structured progression toward your study goals in Spain.
This lesson clarifies the primary rule for roundabouts: all vehicles entering must yield to traffic already on the circular roadway. It explains how to approach a roundabout, select the appropriate lane based on the intended exit, and merge safely into the flow of traffic. Proper signaling before exiting is also covered, ensuring other drivers can anticipate the rider's movements for a smooth and safe negotiation of the junction.
This lesson addresses the crucial 'priority to the right' rule that governs traffic at intersections without signs or signals. It explains that drivers must yield to any vehicle approaching from their right-hand side. The content provides practical examples of how to assess traffic, determine the correct order of passage, and proceed with caution to safely navigate these common but potentially confusing intersections.
This lesson focuses on the absolute priority of pedestrians at marked crosswalks, often known as zebra crossings. It explains that riders must always be prepared to stop and yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian waiting to cross or already crossing. The content also covers signaled pedestrian crossings and general awareness in urban areas where pedestrians may cross unexpectedly, reinforcing safety and legal compliance.

The fundamental rule in Spain is to yield to traffic that is already circulating within the roundabout. You must wait for a safe gap before entering. Always be aware of vehicles to your left as they have priority.
At uncontrolled intersections in Spain, the right-hand priority rule applies. This means you must yield to vehicles approaching from your right. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the one on the right has priority.
Yes, as a moped rider, you must always yield to pedestrians on designated crossings (pasos de peatones). Slow down and stop if necessary to allow them to cross safely. Never overtake a vehicle that has stopped for pedestrians at a crossing.
Even if a vehicle is signaling to exit, if you are already circulating within the roundabout and they are on your right, you generally maintain your position. However, always be observant. If their exit maneuver creates a conflict, be prepared to adjust your speed or position slightly to ensure safety, but their priority to exit does not override your right of way if you are already safely navigating the roundabout.
While the right-hand rule is standard, always pay attention to road signs (like yield or stop signs) and road markings that may indicate otherwise. Also, remember that traffic already on a main road or from a roundabout usually has priority over traffic entering from a minor road.
Focus on understanding the core DGT rules covered in this unit. Practice with mock theory tests that include scenarios involving roundabouts and intersections. Visualize yourself applying the priority rules in different situations, especially when riding.
