911 = 112

link

The local equivalent to the “911” emergency line in Spain is 112.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. Traffic in Madrid and Barcelona is faster-paced than in U.S. cities and can be unnerving due to unfamiliar signs or motorbikes weaving between traffic lanes. In addition, all drivers and passengers are required to carry a reflective vest and put it on if they need to stop on the roadside. Spanish police authorities may levy fines on the spot and issue a receipt for the payment. This is done to ensure the traffic fine is paid by foreigners who rarely come back to Spain to pay the fine.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.2 million people worldwide are killed every year due to road accidents, and as many as 50 million are injured or disabled.

A lényeg a lényeg. Nincsenek olyan rendőrautók, mint amit franciában láttam, mindíg van rendes festése és villogója. A megszokott amcsi mód, hogy büntetnek azért mert előrejutás miatt váltassz sávot (ott komolyan veszik!) itt csak az európai sztenderdeknek megfelelő jobbról nem előzünk. Nyilván van terror veszély meg a szokásos turista ellenes akciók (trükkös lopás, lopás, rablás, és sérüléssel járó rablás).
