Get to know the two new road brands that are being tested on a specific section of our roads, so you don’t get an unexpected surprise.
The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda are experimenting with new road markings on a specific section of our road network, with which it is intended to make the circulation of vehicles much safer but also of vehicles pedestrians.
Specifically, we are talking about the “dragon’s teeth” road markings and the “broken edge lines” created to verify their effectiveness and the degree of perfection and understanding by users, given that the driver’s perception of the markings roads when driving on the road is very different from the view in a paper design.
One of these new road markings is the “dragon teeth”In the form of small isosceles triangles that lie located on both sides of the lane and whose objective is to indicate the beginning of a journey so that the driver can reduce speed with respect to the previous section, thus adapting his driving to the new circumstances.

The other new road brand that is being experimented on is the “broken line” to delimit the edges of the road during the 30 m from a zebra crossing to thus give greater visibility to this pedestrian crossing.
This experimental section is between kilometers 293,652 and 294,356 of the N-122 in Burgos and is currently evaluating the effectiveness of these new road markings to know the degree of perception of the driver and also his understanding of them.
They are not the only road markings with which they are currently experimenting and it is that since the beginning of the summer there have been several sections with return arrows offset in the axis of the road as a way of signaling to end the overtaking maneuver on certain two-way roads.
