Signalized intersections

Signalized intersections 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 simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that drivers of vehicles approaching an intersection marked with a priority intersection sign, or travelling on a road marked with a priority carriageway sign, as provided for in Articles 149 and 151, must have priority over vehicles travelling on or coming from another road.

Priority questions use concrete situations (junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections): first work out who has right of way and why.
