Spain is testing white circles painted near the centre line of bends to push riders toward the outside of their lane and away from oncoming traffic. The Catalan Traffic Service has run the scheme since 2024, copying an Austrian approach where some sections saw motorcycle crashes fall by as much as 80%. In 2025, 304 riders died on Spanish roads.

I find the idea compelling — a symbol painted on tarmac that physically moves a rider's body. When I first saw those scenes, in comics and in films alike, the centre line on a mountain road was always drawn as the one line you must not cross. Here that message is delivered by a white circle instead of words. The weight of the 304 lives Spain lost in 2025 sits behind this paint.

Oncoming traffic really does run wide on Spanish mountain roads. Those circles are worth painting.

Relieved to learn I'm not the only one who drifts toward the inside in a bend.

Up to 80% fewer crashes on some sections in Austria — I'd want to know how those sections were picked.

I don't think the paint itself cut the crashes — it's the fact that it makes you conscious of your line.

304 deaths in 2025, the highest in a decade. Looking at that number, trying something is only sensible.

The Catalan Traffic Service started in 2024, so two full years of data are only now coming together.
