Which body has the authority to request the interruption of road works execution when special traffic circumstances exist?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the autonomous body Central Traffic Headquarters (Jefatura Central de Tráfico). Although the owner of the road authorizes the work, the Central Traffic Headquarters is responsible for traffic regulation, organization, and management. Therefore, in special circumstances (such as holiday departure/return operations, public holidays, or events with large crowds), it has the authority to request the suspension of works to ensure traffic flow and road safety. Neither a private citizen nor the contractor of the work has the legal authority to order such an interruption for traffic management reasons.
