• Pere Navarro is negotiating with the Ministry of Public Function to enlarge the DGT’s examiner corps beyond its 900-strong cap to meet an extra 8,000 licence applicants each month.
• To relieve examiner shortages, 118 new driving instructors will join in September and another 100 will be recruited through this year’s public employment offer.
• A reversible BUS-VAO high-occupancy lane on the A-2 into Madrid has been approved, equipped with cameras, lights and beacons for real-time lane direction control.
• The DGT has launched a pilot mobile radar program in roadwork zones to enforce temporary speed limits, enhance worker safety and reduce collisions.
• With solo drivers accounting for 85% of peak jams and 70% of vehicles over eight years old, authorities are promoting carpooling and urban 30 km/h limits that have delivered 18 zero-fatality days so far in 2025.
