Understanding Your Obligations: Navigating the Required Fine

Crossing a pedestrian crossing whilst facing a red traffic signal constitutes a traffic offence that may result in financial penalties and, in certain situations, compromise road safety. Although numerous pedestrians regard this as an inconsequential act, traffic regulations in Spain impose fines on individuals who disregard traffic signals.

The Local Police of Santa Cruz de Tenerife recently penalised a pedestrian for violating this law at a traffic light on Maritime Avenue. The penalty for this offence totals 200 euros, with a reduction available to 100 euros if the payment is completed within the designated timeframe.

The General Circulation Regulation clearly states that pedestrians are required to adhere to traffic signals, just as drivers are. Article 124 of the regulation specifies that pedestrians must follow the light signals and may only cross when the traffic light permits. In the absence of a traffic signal, priority should be given to vehicles, except at zebra crossings where pedestrians’ right of way is assured.

Unlike drivers, pedestrians do not possess points on a driving licence, meaning that the penalty is solely financial and does not impact their driving record.

Cities with heavy traffic typically have increased enforcement at pedestrian crossings and regulated intersections. In areas such as Santa Cruz de Tenerife, authorities have heightened surveillance in focal points and on busy thoroughfares. Additionally, some municipalities have introduced traffic cameras capable of detecting such infractions and automatically issuing fines.
