Under Article 118.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), drivers of motorcycles, cars, buses, goods vehicles, dual-purpose vehicles and non-agricultural vehicle combinations must wear a high-visibility reflective vest when they get out of the vehicle and step onto the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside a built-up area. In built-up areas it is not compulsory.
