A Spanish-registered car is immobilised on a Spanish road after its load falls onto the carriageway. From 2026, how must the danger be warned of?

Correct answer

With a connected V-16 of a certified model and the appropriate emergency lighting.

With a connected V-16 device of a certified model, plus hazard lights if fitted and position or clearance lights where required, under Article 130. Triangles no longer replace the V-16 required for that car. Take measures for prompt load removal without exposing yourself to traffic and request assistance when needed. Lights alone are insufficient in this case, and a yellow flag does not replace the prescribed device.
