Obligations relating to signage is one of the topics in the Traffic signage block of the Spanish DGT theory. How signage works: types of signs, the order of priority between them and the duty to obey them. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that the owner of the road or, where appropriate, the authority in charge of traffic regulation must order the immediate removal and, where appropriate, the replacement with suitable ones of any signs installed in violation of regulations, those that have lost their purpose and those that do not fulfil their purpose due to their deterioration.
The order of priority between signs (officer, traffic light, vertical sign, road marking) is key; many questions are solved just by recalling it.
The owner of the road or, where appropriate, the authority in charge of traffic regulation shall order the immediate removal and, where appropriate, the replacement with suitable ones of any signs installed in violation of regulations, those that have lost their purpose and those that do not fulfil their purpose due to their deterioration.
