On 1 October 2026, Spain's updated traffic regulations, approved by Royal Decree 518/2026 of 24 June, came into force. The document introduces a dedicated section on urban mobility and sets a minimum age of 15 for riding e-scooters, a mandatory certified helmet and hand signals for turns. For motorhomes, it defines parking conditions for the first time: no protruding elements, standing only on wheels (safety chocks allowed) and no discharge of fluids from the living area. Municipalities may now charge differentiated parking fees based on vehicle size and environmental classification.
