Take care on inland roads

For residents and visitors exploring Tenerife by car or motorcycle, bends and changing road conditions require particular care. Leave enough space to stop within the distance you can see, avoid overtaking where visibility is restricted and allow extra room around motorcycles.

Anyone encountering an accident should stop only where it is safe, avoid putting themselves in the path of traffic and call 112, giving the road number, kilometre marker and direction of travel where possible.
