Spain does not have independent cycle roads. Spain provide roads with shoulders that are normally adequate for cycling. This works well for thoroughfares, but is dangerous in areas where there are lots of intersections. In such intersections cyclists often have to cross against fast moving traffic.

Whilst driving through Spain it is obvious that there has been a huge recent investment in road infrastructure. Many large graded highways have been built and preexisting roads are often relegated to service roads to these highways that then become the roads designated to cycling. Whilst these roads are often good, they are not consistently available, indicating that the Spanish road infrastructure upgrades were not designed with cycling in mind, again making entry and exit to cities dangerous for cyclists.

The cycle infrastructure is much better than New Zealand. New Zealand has no cycle infrastructure.
