Spain's DGT confirms mandatory V16 beacon by 2027, plans V27
Original: baliza
Spain's traffic authority DGT has confirmed that the V16 emergency warning beacon will remain mandatory from 2027, dismissing speculation that it was being scrapped, and says it is already preparing the next-generation V27 beacon for all cars and motorcycles. In a statement, the DGT described the transition as a 'significant' change, reassuring drivers that the connected device will continue to replace warning triangles after the current uncertainty.
Why now: Spanish drivers are confused about whether the V16 beacon they were required to buy will still be valid after reports it might be replaced.
