Driving
On-street parking regulations can be difficult to follow as they vary by the day, week or month. Some days, parking is restricted to one side of the street, while at other times it changes to the opposite side. Parking zones are usually colour coded, with blue zones being the most common and paid for at ticket machines. Most petrol pumps have attendants and accept credit cards for payment. Autopistas de peajes (toll routes) are labelled AP and tolls can be paid at tollbooths. It is compulsory for all vehicles to carry two warning triangles and florescent jackets for all passengers.
