Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations in Spain distinguish between road types and lighting conditions. On urban streets (inside towns) that are not through roads (travesías), it is not mandatory to leave position or clearance lights on if street lighting allows other users to distinguish the vehicle at a sufficient distance. If the street were dark (insufficiently lit), lights would be mandatory. However, on through roads (roads passing through towns), the rules are stricter.
