Explanation

Under Article 156.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by RD 518/2026, local councils may, by municipal by-law, regulate the stopping and parking of two-wheeled vehicles on pavements, promenades and other pedestrian areas, as long as pedestrian traffic is not harmed or obstructed. Without that authorisation, parking on the pavement is prohibited.
