Madrid – In a significant development enhancing road safety in Spain, the smart warning light LEDguardian® ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT has received official approval to replace the traditional warning triangle and analog V16 warning light starting in January 2026. This device represents an advanced step in smart road safety technologies, allowing automatic transmission of vehicle location without requiring the driver to exit.
How Does LEDguardian® ROAD FLARE Signal V16 IoT Work?
The device contains an integrated SIM card that anonymously sends the vehicle’s location to the DGT 3.0 network of the Spanish Traffic Directorate. This way, hazards are immediately reported to navigation systems and electronic display boards in real-time, reducing the risk of secondary accidents.
Technical Features Making the Device Ideal for All Conditions
- 360-degree flashing orange light: Powered by 10 strong LED lights, ensuring clear visibility in all weather conditions.
- IP54 certification: Dust and water-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use.
- Magnetic attachment: Easily adheres to the vehicle’s surface.
- Battery status indicator: To ensure constant readiness.
- 9-volt battery: Easy to replace.
- Simple on/off switch: For instant activation without complexity.
Why Does It Become Mandatory in Spain from January 2026?
The decision aims to reduce accidents resulting from vehicles stopping on highways, as it eliminates the need for drivers to exit onto the road to place warning triangles, protecting their lives from passing vehicles. This device is expected to contribute to a noticeable reduction in road accident rates in Spain.
Reports indicate that smart V16 IoT warning lights will likely become a potential European standard in the coming years, with increasing reliance on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in road safety.
