Under Article 122.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), when there is no usable pedestrian area, pedestrians must walk on the hard shoulder or, if there is none, on the carriageway. However, they may not walk on motorways (autopistas) or dual carriageways (autovías), except in the cases and under the conditions of Article 130 (Article 125.1).
