Questions Learners Have About Mandatory Direction Signs

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Mandatory Direction Signs, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are mandatory direction signs (R-400 series) in Spain?

Mandatory direction signs (R-400 series) in Spain are blue circular signs with white arrows. They indicate a compulsory direction or passage that vehicles must follow, such as 'Sentido obligatorio' (mandatory direction) or 'Paso obligatorio' (mandatory passage).

How do 'Sentido obligatorio' and 'Paso obligatorio' signs differ?

'Sentido obligatorio' signs (R-400) dictate the specific direction you must take at an intersection (e.g., turn right, go straight). 'Paso obligatorio' signs (R-401) indicate the specific side(s) you must pass an obstacle, refuge, or island.

If an R-400c sign shows an arrow pointing straight, can I turn left or right?

No. An R-400c sign ('Sentido obligatorio: seguir recto') means you are strictly obliged to go straight ahead and are prohibited from taking any other direction, including turning left or right.

Are blue square signs the same as blue circular mandatory signs?

No, they are not the same. Blue circular signs (like the R-400 series) always indicate an obligation or prohibition. Blue square signs, on the other hand, are generally informational signs and do not impose mandatory actions.

What happens if I ignore a mandatory direction sign?

Ignoring a mandatory direction sign is a traffic violation according to DGT regulations. It can lead to fines and points deducted from your driving license, as well as posing a safety risk to yourself and other road users.
