Visibility

Visibility 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 in order to be more visible and legible at night, road signs, especially those warning of danger and those of regulation, must be illuminated or provided with reflective materials or devices, as provided for in the basic regulations established for these purposes by the Ministry of Public Works.

The order of priority between signs (officer, traffic light, vertical sign, road marking) is key; many questions are solved just by recalling it.
