The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has launched a special operation in the province of Granada for the May long weekend, expecting approximately 144,000 long-distance journeys between April 30 and May 3.

The operation, which began on Thursday, April 30, at 3:00 PM and will last until midnight on Sunday, May 3, aims to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow on Granada's roads. Authorities have emphasized the importance of cautious driving, especially during a period with high vehicle concentration.
Roads expected to bear the highest traffic volume include the A-395, the access road to Sierra Nevada, which is currently undergoing emergency repairs due to recent rains. High traffic is also anticipated on the A-44 towards the Costa Tropical, the A-7 (Mediterranean Highway), the A-92 and A-92G (Andalusia Highway), the GR-14, and national roads N-340 and N-432, as well as secondary roads leading to tourist areas and second homes.

"It is essential to check weather information before traveling, as conditions are variable at this time of year, so it is advisable to anticipate to avoid unforeseen events during the journey."

To manage this flow, the DGT will implement special traffic regulation, ordering, and control measures. Officers from the Guardia Civil Traffic Group, personnel from Traffic Management Centers, the Aerial Means Unit (helicopters and drones), and maintenance staff will work in coordination to monitor incidents and provide assistance across Andalusia's interurban road network, with particular focus on the most heavily traveled routes.
Drivers are advised to check real-time traffic conditions via the DGT website, their social media accounts (@informacionDGT and @DGTes), news bulletins, or by calling 011. Additionally, considering alternative routes to avoid congested areas is recommended, and drivers are reminded of the obligation to use the V16 beacon in case of roadside incidents.
