1. Desvío
Un desvío es una ruta alternativa temporal utilizada cuando la carretera habitual está cerrada, bloqueada o no disponible. Los desvíos se establecen normalmente durante obras, accidentes, eventos públicos, inundaciones u otras interrupciones. Los conductores deben seguir cuidadosamente las señales temporales, reducir la velocidad cuando sea necesario y esperar carreteras desconocidas, prioridades cambiadas o tráfico adicional en la ruta alternativa.
What is a detour?
A detour is an alternative route that directs traffic around a closed, blocked or restricted section of road.
Why are detours used?
Detours may be introduced because of roadworks, accidents, flooding, public events or other temporary obstructions that prevent normal use of the road.
Do you have to follow a detour?
Drivers must follow mandatory traffic signs and authorised traffic directions. A signed detour should be followed when the normal route is closed or restricted.
Are detours always temporary?
Most detours are temporary and remain in place only while the normal route is unavailable, although they can sometimes last for an extended period during major works.
Should you drive differently on a detour?
Yes. Detours may use unfamiliar or smaller roads, so drivers should reduce speed where necessary, watch for changed priorities and follow temporary signs carefully.
What is the difference between a detour and a diversion?
Detour and diversion generally describe the same concept: an alternative route around a road that cannot be used normally. The preferred term varies between countries and languages.
