In Spain, blue rectangular or square signs generally indicate high-capacity roads like Autopistas (S-1) and Autovías (S-1a), which have specific rules regarding speed limits and vehicle access.
Both Autopista (S-1) and Autovía (S-1a) signs are blue. The S-1 (Autopista) sign typically shows a highway symbol with two lanes separated by a median, while the S-1a (Autovía) sign shows a similar symbol but with a less pronounced separation, though both indicate similar high-capacity road characteristics.
For passenger cars, the general maximum speed limit on both Autopistas and Autovías in Spain is 120 km/h, unless otherwise indicated by specific signage.
No, not all Autopistas are toll roads. Some are free, while others are 'Autopistas de Peaje' (toll Autopistas), which are often identified by the 'AP' prefix on their signs (e.g., S-410a).
Upon seeing an 'End of Autopista' (S-2) or 'End of Autovía' (S-2a) sign, the special rules applicable to these roads cease. This typically means that the general speed limits for conventional roads will apply, and vehicles previously prohibited may now be permitted.
By completing Spanish Road Types, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Spain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
