- Phase two runs from 15:00 on December 26 to 23:59 on January 1, followed by phase three from January 2 to 6, totaling an estimated 14 million trips for those two phases and 22.4 million for the full holiday period.
- The DGT is activating reversible and additional lanes, setting alternative routes, pausing roadworks, and imposing time‑specific limits on sporting events and certain truck movements to maintain flow and safety.
- Andalusia projects 1,922,800 movements with pressure on corridors such as the A‑4, A‑7, A‑49, A‑66, A‑92 and AP‑7, with peak congestion expected late Friday and Sunday and mid‑morning Saturday.
- In Murcia, 441,408 trips are expected as 237 Guardia Civil traffic agents, fixed and mobile speed controls, and helicopter and drone patrols bolster enforcement coordinated by the Levante traffic center.
- From January 1 the V‑16 beacon replaces warning triangles as the sole legal roadside device, alongside DGT guidance to avoid alcohol, plan routes, adapt speed to weather, and intensified checks that recently found low alcohol positivity but high drug positivity in Murcia.
