PREAMBLE

The Spanish Constitution, in its Articles 149.1.21 and 24, confers exclusive competence on the State on the general system of communications and on public works of general interest or the performance of which affects more than one Autonomous Community.

The classic consideration of the road in its triple aspect, as a public domain, as public works and as a support for the provision of a public service, has been reflected with greater or lesser intensity in the successive ones. For centuries, the laws of the way have been happening in our country, trying to adapt in every historical moment to the evolution of their physical reality and the demands of the society to which they were to serve.

In this sense, it can be said that Spanish road legislation has always enjoyed a level parallel to that of the roads covered by its regulation, which is currently very notable in Spain reaching in the last few decades extension and technical quality which can be compared very successfully with those of the most developed nations, thanks to an unprecedented effort by Spanish society in the field of infrastructures according to its characteristics as basic element in the transport system and in the territorial vertebrate of the country.

The current Road Law, Law 25/1988, of July 29, was enacted after the transfer to the autonomous communities of an important part of the roads had occurred in the previous years. State, and at a time when the modernization of the network was being initiated in compliance with the General Plan of Roads 1984-1991. This Law was partially amended by Law 24/2001 of 27 December, Royal Decree-Law 11/2001 of 22 June, Law 14/2000 of 29 December, Royal Decree-Law 15/1999 of October 1, Law 66/1997 of December 30, the Law of the Law 13/1996, of December 30 and Law 42/1994, of December 30.

In development of the aforementioned Law, the General Regulations of Roads were approved by Royal Decree 1812/1994, of September 2, being partially modified by the Royal Decree 114/2011, of 9 February, Royal Decree 597/1997, of 16 April, Royal Decree 1911/1997 of 19 December 1997 and Law 42/1994 of 30 December.

It has been more than a quarter of a century since the beginning of that road transfer and since the enactment of the Law, and in this time there have been substantial changes in the road networks of both the State and the Autonomous communities and local authorities. There have also been major changes in the social consideration towards aspects such as road safety, the integration of infrastructure into the environment, the search for efficiency in the management of transport networks, and In the case of public financial resources, all of these cases in which the demands of Spanish society are at present more demanding than in the years in which the previous Law was enacted. On the other hand, the attention paid to the service provided by the roads is increasing and not only to the works to be carried out for this purpose, considering that the good service demands much more than the mere execution of the infrastructure.

This requires the obligation to solve the problems created by the growing need for increased mobility, occupying the least possible territory, which determines the priority of optimizing the service provided by the infrastructure. existing before building new roads. This optimization of the service is based on the proper integration of the different modes of transport, in order to promote public transport, in an effective coordination both between the different road networks and the intermodality, and in adequately preserve the physical condition of the tracks, by appropriate conservation and exploitation, as their functional condition, preventing them from being degraded by uses other than their function or by actions that are harmful to the function.

It also imposes the need to reconcile planning and urban development and spatial planning with the maintenance of the long-distance traffic flow free of obstacles that could affect very negatively to the State Highway Network and bring about inefficiencies in the management of the resources that are dedicated to it.

This is why it is necessary to update the road legislation, trying to maintain a certain continuity in its structure and content, but with the necessary modifications to adapt its precepts to what currently requires the appropriate provision of the public road service.

Therefore, it has been considered appropriate to introduce into law the concept of public service, which, although known and traditionally considered as the basis for road management, was not explicitly reflected in the law. the road legislation in force.

In line with the above, the text reflects the importance that must be given to those aspects of management aimed at achieving the greatest possible compatibility and coordination between the construction, conservation and exploitation of infrastructure and the management and defence of the environment in its broadest sense.

On the other hand, the notable development of road networks in Spain imposes the need to readjust the powers of the State and the other public administrations on certain roads, so as to obtain a rationalisation of the management of networks based on functional criteria. This rationalisation is essential in order to achieve the necessary coordination between the actions of each Administration in its own networks, since otherwise, the overlap of functions makes it very difficult to avoid dysfunctions and to harmonize schedules. It is also essential to speed up the procedure to enable exchanges of ownership between the various networks when the swap or transfer of tranches or itineraries is in the public interest.

In this sense, it is basic to the criterion that the General Administration of the State is responsible for providing service to long-distance traffic by uniting the most important population centers and the one that is directed to the main points of connection of the national territory with the networks of the neighboring countries, with the main logistic centers, etc. .. all in the terms that are established in this law. It is for the Autonomous and Local Authorities, on the other hand, to take over the service of distribution of traffic from the long-distance network to the various points of the territory of its territorial scope, being its role therefore complementary but fundamental to achieving optimal accessibility to the territory.

The functional specialisation of road networks is an essential principle, not only in order to facilitate good coordination between administrations, but also, and in this it corresponds to another of the social priorities before -to optimize road safety. In fact, the separation as far as possible of the long, medium and short distance traffics is always an effective action to fight against the accident, since it promotes the use of the route more homogeneously and therefore more predictable.

Intimately related to the type of service that must be provided, and in particular with security, there is also the need to control the access to the roads. The previous legislation already contemplated this aspect; however, in an increasing manner over the last twenty-five years, the urban, commercial and industrial development has been subjecting the roads of the State to a continuous pressure of opening new connections to facilitate access to developments of all kinds, obviating that each new access is a new hotspot and that accessibility to the specific points of the territory, even if they are close to the long-haul network, must be made through distribution networks so as not to damage the main function of the roads of the State.

It is based on this service and the long-haul traffic as the main recipient of the roads of the network, where the efforts of the State Highway Administration should be directed, taking into account these the principles of the right to plan and develop by third parties along their route are compatible with the main purpose of the road, both in the defence of their legally determined protection zones and in the adequate management of the accesses requested by the adjoining developments; be of a public nature or In the light of the above, the Commission will not be in a state of confidence. Without prejudice to the constitutional principle of coordination between administrations, the defense of the way requires that future actions to be carried out by taking as a support to it, be made on the basis of the compatibility with the main use of the infrastructure, which must be demonstrated by the interested promoter of any action which may affect the way.

The considerations on the rationalisation of the network and the need to insist on the control of access to it made it necessary to modify the classification of the roads, removing the category of the roads fast and creating the multi-car roads. Thus, in this law, the former "fast track" category is deleted because a special category is not necessary for these conventional roads, the name of which also implies a message contrary to road safety, as well as for the adaptation to other sectoral laws which are closely related to the scope of this rule.

In order to facilitate the implementation of all the above within the State Highway Network, the conditions for defining a basic network and a complementary network are established. A new category of roads is also established which, being of State ownership, do not belong to the State Road Network as such: the road to that network, and in its bosom, the roads to be transferred to other roads Administrations for failing to meet the conditions required to be integrated into the State Network. This is a transitional category, since the obligation of the General Administration of the State to promote timely transfers of ownership is also established, prioritizing the figure of the agreement with the Public Administration that corresponds. This means that one of the measures contained in the Commission's report on the reform of public administrations, which pointed out that in the field of roads and in order to avoid duplication of management, will be modified, will be implemented. legislation for the free transfer to municipalities of sections of State roads which are urban crossings.

Another of the current social priorities is the perception of road infrastructure under the prism of sustainable mobility. This sustainability implies, among other things, achieving the greatest efficiency in the management and use of the existing infrastructure before occupying more territory with new roads. Sustainability also requires consideration of intermodality in the environment of urban agglomerations, and the compatibility of roads with the best protection and protection of the environment, as essential aspects to be taken into account establish the road policy. This law sets out these priorities and considerations and sets out a series of precepts aimed at their practical implementation in the activities of the road network.

The relationship between roads, land management and urban planning is also addressed in the Law, which reflects the need for urban developments to integrate their own forecasts to meet the needs of the local demands for mobility that they generate. The urbanizing process cannot be supported by the continuous demand for new state roads to solve these demands, since that is not the function of these roads. It cannot be claimed that the development of the State Highway Network is contingent only on territorial and urban planning. Urbanism must address the mobility needs it generates, developing its own systems and infrastructures, and relying on other road networks, before the traffic flows that produce the new developments lead to the network. long travel.

In relation to the aforementioned aspects, a series of obligations are included in the Law, which are imposed on the Ministry of Public Works within its powers. In particular, it is established that when sections of roads close to urban agglomerations are studied, alternatives are considered to minimize congestion, promoting intermodality and sustainable mobility studies. Moreover, in the reports on urban planning that affect the roads of the State, the need is maintained in all cases for an express report from the Ministry of Public Works prior to the approval of plans involving modifications of the roads or their access and connections.

Another very significant development is to allow the various corridors included in a study of road-based roads to be subject to a certain degree of protection which allows for the development and approves the study, the proliferation of urban actions and constructions of all kinds does not prevent the future development of the infrastructure on the selected corridor, for which, without changing the classification of the land of all the This is a major problem in the management of the corridors. and due to its complexity, at least it allows adequate control to limit the extension of new authorizations and licenses for a limited period of time, minimizing future overruns for expropriations and difficulties in the management administration of the same.

Finally, some other new features that are included in the new text should be highlighted. They are as follows:

The functions of the operation of roads, which includes the operations of conservation and maintenance of the road, the actions aimed at the defense of the road and its best use, including the references to signalling, environmental integration, road safety, access management and use of the road safety zones.

For environmental and road safety reasons the introduction of advertising is regulated, which on roads will be possible only in urban sections.

The current system of access to roads is clarified, incorporating into the Law some precepts of the current General Regulations of Roads because of their importance for the defense of the functional integrity of the network.

Coordination with regional highway networks is facilitated by establishing functional criteria for interconnection with the State network, and making these decisions subject to the agreement between Administrations.

The description of the areas for the protection of the roads is slightly modified, the area of limitation to the buildability is being created and the concept of the acoustic easement is introduced in its delimitation, the external edge description of the esplanation, in order to adapt it to the reality and to resolve the conflicts that have arisen in the application of the previous Law, as also the distance of the line of construction is modified in different types of roads and elements of the same, to improve the effectiveness of the defence that such limitations are targeted.

Other operating-character modifications are also included for greater efficiency. Among others, those aimed at completing the regulations applicable to studies and projects and the construction of works on aspects such as the services concerned and the possibility of taking the necessary data to develop the studies without excessive dilations.

The new Law, finally, updates the catalogue of state roads according to the classification contained therein and establishes the obligation of the Ministry of Public Works to keep this catalogue updated.

The Act consists of 49 articles distributed in four chapters, plus six additional provisions, two other transitional provisions, one derogating provision and six final provisions.

In the first chapter, the object of the Law is established, which is the regulation of the State Highway Network, its corresponding public domain and protection zones. With regard to the concept of public domain, the previous rule, which only referred to the roads, which is only part of the regulated object, is improved. To this end, this public domain is defined, which integrates not only the roads themselves, but the road annex, its functional elements and the areas adjacent to the roads.

The definition of the roads is partially modified, to make it more in line with national and international legal terminology, as well as its classification, disappearing categories such as that of the so-called fast tracks, today in disuse, and introducing a new one under the name of multi-lease roads to achieve a better adaptation to the reality of the road system. The definition of the functional elements of the roads is completed by establishing their membership in the public domain.

Within the existing roads in the national territory, those that are part of the State Highway Network are defined more precisely, establishing their classification in basic network and complementary network, with different characteristics and functionality, also defining an annex viary, consisting of those roads that are of state ownership are not part of any of the indicated groups.

The possibility of modification of the State Network, either by cession of its ownership to other public administrations as well as the inverse incorporation to that Network of roads of different ownership is also contemplated in the Law, as well as the procedure to be followed for such modification.

The criteria for the designation of roads, as well as the principles of coordination which must be followed in relation to roads of different ownership, are also laid down in order to avoid duplication or confusion for users. The procedure for the inclusion in supranational networks of those roads or sections which meet the relevant requirements for this is also laid down.

Chapter II consists of five sections. The first of these is dedicated to road planning, defining its content and processing. The second section deals with programmes, studies and road projects, introducing measures of a pioneering nature in our legal system of public works, such as the obligation to carry out cost/benefit analysis in the more relevant actions, in line with the regulatory trends of other countries and international organisations and in order to achieve greater efficiency in public investments.

With the same objective, we have the obligation to carry out multicriteria analysis for the prioritization of road performances. No less novel is the obligation to study the feasibility or provenance of using formulas for indirect management or private public collaboration in any viable living conditions of differentiated exploitation.

In terms of the types of road studies, the definitions of some of them are completed and updated, with others being introduced, such as those relating to the delimitation of urban sections, end-of-work documents, etc. contents are thus legally established.

The approval of projects and studies is also subject to regulation, in particular in respect of public information and the effects of its approval.

The up to now only partially regulated road emergency works are also addressed, in order to facilitate their implementation.

Especially significant is the recognition of the importance of road safety. In this respect, the obligation to carry out impact assessments and specific audits in the different stages of conception and execution of road actions is introduced.

No less important is the detailed regulation that is made in the Law of the Coordination Procedures between Road Planning and Territorial and Urban Planning, which must be carried out in a coordinated manner. to avoid any post-costly and difficult correction in another case, to which temporary precautionary measures are available. Public information procedures are also partially modified in order to achieve greater transparency in administrative action.

Taking into account that the condition of the road system can be produced by urban developments not strictly adjacent to the road, but which must be used for its accessibility, the need for information and coordination of plans located in the areas of influence of the roads.

Section 3 is dedicated to the construction of roads, with particular attention being given to the provisions aimed at facilitating the replenishment of affected services, in order to avoid delays and increases in the execution of road performances. It also extends the current exemption from the obligation to obtain licenses for the construction of roads to the tasks necessary for their conception and realization.

As regards the financing of the roads and without prejudice to the maintenance of the current systems, in section 4. the relative to the establishment of special contributions is regulated in greater detail, the consideration of which will be mandatory for Administration in certain cases.

Section 5 refers to the exploitation of roads, their content and the form of management.

Certain aspects of the regulation of safe areas of service and car parks are modified, in particular as regards the recognition of the particular initiative in the promotion of such functional elements, oriented to improve the operation of the road and the service to users of the road.

Chapter III of the Law deals with the essential aspects of the proper management of the Road Network, as are those relating to the use and defense of roads.

In Section 1, "Limitations on the ownership and use of roads", the different areas of protection of the road are described, introducing several new aspects. Thus, the traditional areas of public domain, serfdom and affection are added a new zone, called a limitation to the buildability, which completes and improves the concept of the construction limit until now, modifying the location of the population in the population variants, for which it is now reduced to 50 m, from the outer edge of the road, the distance to which that line of construction is located, instead of 100 m that the previous Law had. To this end it is added that for the best overall protection of the margins of the roads it is specified that the classification and qualification of land included in the area of limitation to the buildability will not be able to be modified in any case if this is in contradiction with what is established in this law.

On the contrary, the protection in the environment of the intersections, ramales of rotation and knots of road in general is increased because until now on numerous occasions it has been difficult, faced and even prevented its improvement due to the lack of sufficient reserve for its enlargement. This is why the increase is set up to 50 m from the distance to which the building limit line is located in these singular cases.

To reconcile the proper protection of the road with the legitimate interests of the adjoining properties, various measures are established. Thus, for example, changes in the limit of construction resulting from the putting into service of new actions will confer the right to compensation in favour of those who prove that their rights are being undermined; the same will happen when such new actions are promoted by the private initiative or by third parties, even if they are in public use, in such a way that it will be up to the promoter to satisfy those compensation. In addition, the depreciation of the land on the farms adjacent to the roads to be built or to actions carried out on the land will also be compensated, as a result of the damage to the legal status of the property, including the loss of recognised buildability and cannot be compensated elsewhere.

The possibilities are increased so that works or activities can be performed in the area of the condition, reducing the causes for which they were limited. To this is added a new definition of the area of condition in the case of tunnels and their functional elements in order to ensure their adequate protection.

Finally, the submission of residential construction is introduced to the restrictions arising from the establishment of the noise-servitude zones by the specific maps or noise-specific studies that have been definitively approved. their public information.

The Law also includes the obligation to carry out the public domain of the public domain, with the general lines of its procedure, as well as the obligation to carry out the registration of the land and property affected by the public service public service, which will be free of charge.

In relation to the cessation of works or the suspension of non-legalized uses made by third parties on the margins of the roads, a new framework for the distribution of functions is established that aims to improve the agility and efficiency of the processing of actions of this nature, in order to achieve the cessation of those who are not authorized or who do not conform to the conditions of their authorization, to end the practice of consummated facts and to properly discern the processing of those that may or may not be legalized, at the same time as allowing the Administration to actions that pose a danger to road safety or the proper operation of the track, may take immediate action to remove it from the cause.

In another order of things, the regulation of access to the roads is improved, as elements that require enhanced supervision and surveillance, since they must not harm road safety, for which they must be established. clear, homogeneous and effective criteria, making it a very serious offence for those who are not authorised or modified. It is generally regulated, inter alia, that direct access to the roads and their control is impossible; the requirement for the provision of traffic studies is introduced as well as the possibility of applying special contributions from the promoters of certain new accesses.

Another of the aspects that are regulated in the Law, because of its condition to road safety and the defense of the landscape is the one related to road advertising. The pressure and advertising interest is increasing in the vicinity of towns and villages, and even more so in the environment of large cities, so it is necessary to make progress in regulating the installation of these elements for make it compatible with the exercise of that activity by limiting the areas where it can be carried out to the urban sections. Finally, personnel are empowered to service the roads for the immediate withdrawal of unauthorised elements which are located in the public domain of the road or in the equipment of the road.

The following are the limitations to the use of the tracks, with little new information regarding the previous legislation. Thus, the power of the Ministry of Public Works is regulated to impose restrictions on movement in certain circumstances, specifying competition for the diversion of traffic to motorways operated under concession, and simplifying (a) a significant increase in the number of cases of emergency, without prejudice to the compensation to be paid. Another new aspect is the legal backing of the Ministry of Public Works to demand compensation for the cost caused not only by damage to the roads and their elements, but also by the interventions for the technical assistance, custody of vehicles or loads, or removal of debris from accidents or breakdowns, with public service means.

In Section 2. "Infractions and Sanctions" follows the traditional Spanish legal system scheme, distinguishing minor, serious and very serious faults. However, their order of exposure is modified in such a way as to start with the very serious infringements, and it is important to note that there is an interrelationship between the three typical types of offences, in such a way that in certain cases an infringement may be aggravated by reiteration or attenuation if the reported elements are withdrawn which have not produced any damage to the track. Such factors as good faith, the restitution of things to their initial state, or, on the contrary, the abuse by reiteration, are thus important.

Measures are reinforced against the construction or modification of access without authorization, and also against the deterioration or voluntary damage of elements of signalling and beacon; the protection of the other aspects of the road, including the failure to comply with the obligation to modify or withdraw services affected by the expropriations resulting from road works, in order to avoid situations of serious harm which have sometimes been produced for that reason. Moreover, the distinction between the condition to the public domain outside the explanation or included in it is introduced for the purposes of the classification of infringements.

With regard to the amount of the fines, their amounts are updated, facilitating the work of the instructors of the sanctioning procedures by reducing the margins of discretion, and promoting the greater transparency in order to improve the defence of citizens ' rights.

Chapter IV is the one relating to journeys and urban sections. The Law establishes a new approach to the classification of a section of road as urban and within it, the cases in which it constitutes a voyage, so that a section of road will be considered urban when indicated by a study of Delimitation of Urban Sections which has been approved by the Ministry of Public Works, a study in which the part of the same can be described which can be considered as crossing, based on the criteria and the administrative procedure laid down in this law, and with the undoubted effects that such a circumstance produces. In this way, the urban classification is removed as the basis for the threshold for the definition of this definition, given the difficulties which the regulatory dispersion recorded as a result of the process of deconcentration and transfer of competence to the Autonomous Administrations.

The Ministry of Public Works has also been responsible for issuing authorizations for journeys and urban sections, disappearing the figure of the binding report which characterises this type of case, and which in many occasions produced situations of difficult solution, additionally presenting a competence gap in relation to the sanctioning regime that had no clear answer in the previous legal text.

The text is complemented by six additional provisions: The first is the one on the State Road Catalogue; the second is to the Ministry of Public Works to determine the basic technical regulations of general interest; third refers to the transfer of roads or sections that no longer meet the precise requirements to be part of the State Highway Network; the fourth refers to the specificities arising from the needs of the national defense; the the fifth to the incorporation of the goods of public domain viario and the sixth to the interadministrative cooperation in the simplification of the authorisation regime.

As for the two transitional provisions: the first provides for the transitional arrangements for the consideration of urban sections in cases where the corresponding Delimitation Study is not yet approved; and Second, it is related to certain assumptions about the treatment to be provided to the land of public domain that would not have been expropriated.

The repeal provision is followed by six final provisions in which: this is the General Road Regulation; amendments to Law 8/1972 of 10 May on the construction, conservation and exploitation of motorways in the Community. the concession regime, in terms of the regulation of service areas, and the recast of the Law of the Land, approved by the Royal Legislative Decree of 20 June; the system of updating of sanctions is foreseen; the government is enabled for the development of the law, the competent regime is established under the protection of which the Law is dictated; and has the date of entry into force of the law.

The fuel sector has great relevance for the Spanish economy due to its interrelation with the rest of the sectors of the economy. In particular, fuels are a key input for the road transport sector, which determines its essential role for the competitiveness of the economy and for the achievement of a genuine market unit. Therefore, with the aim of promoting competition in the fuel sector, Article 27 (2) and the final provision of the Law are intended to limit the degree of concentration of the wholesale operators in the fuel concessions. operation of the service areas which have facilities for retail distribution of petroleum products, prohibiting the chaining of service stations of the same flag.

These precepts have a basic character and are dictated by the article 149.1.13. and 18. of the Spanish Constitution, which attributes to the State the competence on the basis and coordination of the general planning of the activity. and on the basic legislation on administrative contracts and concessions, respectively.

And, finally, in the Annexes, the definitions of the most important concepts of the sectoral terminology used in this law and the State Road Catalog are contained.

(c) The area adjacent to the roads of the State and its functional elements defined as a zone of public domain in this law, as well as any other area of ownership of the State affects those roads.

Article 2. Definitions.

1. For the purposes of applying this law, the following concepts and classes of roads and the definitions set out in Annex I shall be included.

2. Roads are considered to be the routes of public domain and public use designed, constructed and signposted fundamentally for the movement of motor vehicles.

3. Due to its characteristics, the roads are classified on motorways, highways, multihull roads and conventional roads.

(a) Highways are highways which are specially designed, constructed and marked as such for the exclusive circulation of cars, with the following characteristics:

-Do not have access to the adjacent properties themselves.

-Do not cross, or be cross-level, by any other means of communication or pass-through.

-Constar of different carriageways for each direction of movement, separated from each other, except in particular points or on a temporary basis, by a strip of land not intended for circulation or, in exceptional cases, by other means.

b) Roads that do not meet all the requirements of the highways are self-driving, have separate driveways for each sense of circulation and limitation of access to and from the adjoining properties, and lack of crosses level.

(c) It is multi-hull roads which, without being motorways or motorways, have at least two lanes intended for circulation for each purpose, with separation or delimitation thereof, being able to have access or level crossings.

In the count of lanes of these roads, the additional lanes, the waiting lanes, the braided lanes, the speed change lanes, and the speed change lanes will not be taken into account.

(d) It is conventional roads that do not meet the characteristics of the motorways, nor those of the motorways, nor those of the multihull roads.

4. The General Administration of the State, with the participation of the autonomous communities, local authorities and sectors concerned, may establish within the classification provided for in the previous paragraph, different categories according to quality standards, Services included or features of the road service they provide.

5. Changing the class and category of a road requires:

(a) Compliance with the conditions laid down for each class and category of road, subject to prior approval and completion of the relevant works.

b) Your integration into any of the existing road networks in Spanish territory.

c) The express classification and categorization by the competent body, prior to the participation of the administrations affected by the change.

Way of Service: Via a road that is parallel to a road, in respect of which it is secondary, connected to it only in certain points, and which serves the properties or adjacent buildings. It may have one or two senses of circulation.

Urban path: Any of those that make up the internal communications network of a population, except for sailings that have not been replaced by a population variant.

ANNEX II

State Highway Network Catalog

This Catalogue includes the relationship of roads that form the State Highway Network, to date 31/12/2014 (the time of the last annual update). It also includes the proposed nomenclature for the roads currently planned by the Ministry of Public Works, although they are not yet in service. In this way, this catalog updates the nomenclature of the State Highway Network, and repeals previous provisions on the matter in whatever they object to it.

The Catalogue of the State Highway Network contained in this Road Act is henceforth the nomenclature reference to be used for the State Highway Network.

In the field "Road" is included the name LL-NNN of the roads that make up the network, according to the previous rules that remain in force: N for conventional roads (the old "national") and A, AP or code of the city for freeways and freeways, toll motorways or urban and peri-urban sections of large capacity respectively, as set out in Royal Decree 1231/2003 of 26 September amending the nomenclature and the The catalogue of motorways and motorways of the State Highway Network.

In the field "Denomination" is included the name of each road, as provided for in Law 25/1988 of Roads and in all the modifications that have occurred to date, including and updating the mentioned RD 1231/2003.

In the "Reference Itinerary O/D" field, the content of Law 25/1988 and RD 1231/2003 has also been updated. In the case of nationals, it is worth noting the fact that, because of their gradual replacement by high capacity roads, in many cases these routes differ from those originating in the 1988 Law. The criterion used has been to mention as "O/D Reference Itinerary" in these cases the points which, at present, are at the ends of the most remote sections which continue to be part of the original road.

Likewise, the old nationals who have been replaced by new roads, but who continue to be part of the State Highway Network, are included in this catalogue with the code that corresponds to them according to the data from the Ministry of Public Works (name of the road, completed in an A, R. ..) in the field "Road", with the same content as its mother road in the field "Denomination" and not in the field "Reference itinerary O/D", since it is they understand on the roads of the same code.
