Korntex | July 2026

Anyone travelling to Spain by motorcycle or riding there professionally should be aware of the latest changes to the country's traffic regulations. From October 1, 2026, new safety regulations for motorcyclists will come into effect. Spain is introducing stricter requirements for personal protective equipment to further improve road safety.

In addition to certified motorcycle gloves and closed footwear, visibility is becoming an even greater priority. Professional motorcycle riders will also be required to wear a high-visibility vest while riding, including during daylight hours.

These new regulations do not only affect Spanish riders. German tourists, international travellers and companies operating motorcycle fleets should familiarise themselves with the new requirements before travelling.

Greater Visibility for Increased Safety

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. Many accidents occur because riders are not seen in time by other road users. Reflective high-visibility clothing significantly improves visibility and helps reduce the risk of accidents in critical traffic situations.

With these new regulations, Spain follows an international trend. More and more countries are introducing stricter requirements for certified protective equipment and enhanced visibility to improve road safety.
