A friend has just been fined 250€ for turning left into a petrol station on the Velez-Casabemeja road. He has used the garage for some 8 years and has always done that and so everyone else. There are no signs up saying no left turn. It's not a busy stretch of road and even the guy on the pumps was surprized,I think he should appeal.

Hi mhic
Is there a solid white line down the centre of the road?
If so, I’m afraid it’s a fair cop, no need for signs.
Remember what the old driving instructors used to say, “Always consider a solid white line to be a brick wall”.
The fact that everyone else does it is not an excuse, just bad luck on this occasion.

Great minds think alike, Gretch.
You can only cross a continuous white line if there are a series of broken lines in it opposite the turning or junction (then it wouldn't be continuous, would it?) otherwise you have to carry on until you can do a 'cambio de sentido' or you come to a roundabout.
Same rules apply in the UK!
