Question 6969

Are personal mobility vehicles allowed on freeways (autopistas) or divided highways (autovías) that run through a built-up area?

  1. No, unless the shoulder is usable and wide enough to travel on safely.
  2. No, it is prohibited.
  3. Yes, unless expressly prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.

No. Personal mobility vehicles, such as the electric scooter in the picture, must not travel on freeways (autopistas) or high-capacity divided highways (autovías), even on sections that pass through a built-up area. That section is still a freeway or high-capacity divided highway, with the same prohibitions. It does not matter whether the shoulder is usable, and no sign is needed to prohibit them.
