Which body establishes the basic regulations and technical standards for speed bumps and transverse bands?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the Ministry of Development (Ministerio de Fomento). This ministry approved the Technical Instruction for the installation of speed reducers and alert bands. Although Local Councils (Ayuntamientos) have the authority to install them on their roads, they must strictly follow the dimensions, location, and signage rules dictated by the Ministry to ensure safety and prevent damage to vehicles. The DGT is responsible for traffic surveillance and management, but does not dictate infrastructure construction standards.
