Notes
- Art. 160 para. 2 lets the traffic directorate change the limit on roads where it considers it necessary, with signs. The Ley de Movilidad (2018, reform of 28 April 2023), fifth transitory article, keeps existing regulations in force where they do not conflict with it. Municipal rules and later amendments were not checked.
