BDifficulty 3/5

May cyclists over 14 ride on the shoulder of a Spanish autovía if no sign prohibits it for road-safety reasons?

Correct answer

Yes, on the shoulder and subject to the other prescribed conditions.

Yes, under the exception in article 38.1. Use the shoulder and observe the other prescribed conditions. The exception concerns Spanish autovías, not every divided road or Spanish autopistas, where cycling is prohibited. Age alone does not override a posted prohibition.
