Cases in which pedestrians have priority over drivers is one of the topics in the Priority block of the Spanish DGT theory. Who goes first: right-of-way rules at junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections and special cases. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In practice, this comes down to the following:
- Pedestrians who are about to board or have just disembarked from a public transport vehicle at a stop marked as such, when they are between said vehicle and the nearest pedestrian zone or shelter.
- To troops in formation, school ranks or organized delegations.
In short, the rule makes sure every road user knows what to expect in this situation.
Priority questions use concrete situations (junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections): first work out who has right of way and why.
Infringements of the rules of this provision shall be considered serious, as provided in article 76.c) of the consolidated text.
