According to Article 36.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026, when there is no road or part of a road specially intended for them, vehicles for people with reduced mobility will travel on the hard shoulder on their right if it is usable and wide enough. If it is not, they will use only as much of the carriageway as they need.
