Spain's new traffic rule, which took effect on October 1, generally bans the use of flashing amber lights by vehicles while pedestrians are crossing.
What changes
Under the old system, turning vehicles could proceed through a flashing amber light while pedestrians had a green signal. The new rule ends that practice.
Barcelona's concerns and exemptions
The city of Barcelona warned that the new rule could increase traffic congestion. The Directorate General of Traffic, however, has given municipalities that submit a technical report the option of an exemption.
