Motorcycling in Spain

Speed limits

The general limit on normal roads (with no central separation or hard shoulder) out of town is 90km/h (55mph) unless signed otherwise. However you’re allowed to exceed the limit by up to 20km/h (12mph) in order to overtake slower traffic.
If there’s a second lane in one direction (usually a short overtaking lane) that goes up to 100km/h (62mph), and the same applies to roads with a hard shoulder each side.
Motorways are 120km/h (75mph) (although that may be increased to 130km/h (80mph) soon).
Urban areas (within town/village/city signs) are generally 50km/h (31mph) but might be lower and there are often residential areas that have 20km/h limits (12mph)

Spanish bus lanes
In some places (mostly Barcelona and Madrid, but there are others), there are dedicated bus lanes, marked ‘BUS-VAO’. VAO is short for the Spanish for High Occupancy Vehicles, which includes bikes, so you’re allowed to use these lanes. Watch out for the buses though
