Signaling of obstacles and hazards is one of the topics in the General rules block of the Spanish DGT theory. Defines who the traffic rules apply to and where, the basic definitions and the principles behind the whole theory. 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 any cases of stopping or parking in places other than those designated by the agents of the authority responsible for traffic will be considered a serious infraction in accordance with the consolidated text of the Law on traffic, circulation of motor vehicles and road safety.

The exam often asks where and to whom these rules apply; read the options carefully, as they frequently change a single word.
