The consumption of drugs and alcohol at the wheel with the aim of reducing accidents is one of the main objectives of the General Directorate of Traffic, through road controls. But not only those who put themselves at the controls of a vehicle are punishable in case of exceeding the legal limits, because if you are walking and you are involved in a traffic accident or commit a violation, you are required to submit to the Breathalyzer test, just like if the police require it. Although they will not take points from the card (which would happen if you were driving), the fine would receive the same, and for an amount of up to € 500.
The legal limit is 0.25, when it begins to be punishable. In case of exceeding 0.50g / l or being a repeat offender, the sanction would amount to one thousand Euros, according to explain to ABC the experts of Pyramid Consulting.
Pedestrians can also be subject to numerous penalties, since like vehicles, they are obliged to know and respect certain traffic regulations.
For example, pedestrians have to be visible and. At the same time, have to have controlled the road. Therefore, on interurban roads, you should always walk on the left side of the shoulder, as this is the way you have to face the approaching vehicles.
In addition, both at dusk and at dawn or adverse weather conditions pedestrians are required to wear reflective vests. Pedestrians who do not comply with these rules may be sanctioned with fines of up to 80 Euros.
Highways, highways and traffic lights
Pedestrians cannot walk on highways or motorways, and doing so is a fine of 80 Euros. So much so, that if, in a vehicle, you have to stop for an important reason, you should always wear the hi vis vest with reflective materials. In addition, the rest of passengers will have to stay inside the vehicle.
Pedestrians are often unaware of the danger of crossing a red light. And, at that time, they put themselves and the other users of the road in danger. Therefore, fines are stipulated for this type of behavior: up to 200 Euros penalty.
If you are going to cross the street, you must always cross the pedestrian zone. Otherwise, and despite having a pedestrian crossing or traffic light nearby, you could have a penalty of € 80.
One last, or example: walking too slowly is punishable. Although only those who do so will receive a fine without a justified reason, traveling too slowly can be a risk, because it could create dangerous agglomeration.
