Under Article 153.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), on urban roads, if there is a cycle lane or a dedicated track, cyclists should use it in preference, and it is compulsory when the authority says so with the R-407a sign, like the one in the picture. If there is no cycle lane or dedicated track, bicycles must ride on the carriageway.
