A video shows a lorry driver on the N-260 holding other vehicles back from a tunnel while an oncoming truck passes through. The drivers use a shared radio channel to report their positions and coordinate their approach.
The road runs about 520 kilometres from the Collado de Belitres in Portbou, Gerona, to Sabiñánigo in Huesca. It crosses Gerona and Lérida before reaching Huesca, following a route of tight bends and hairpins popular with motorcyclists. Snow can make winter journeys difficult.
There is no hard shoulder on the narrow stretches. Trucks and caravans are common on the route, and the tunnels cut into the rock are barely wide enough for a lorry. Caravans also feature in Spain’s leisure-vehicle market; a separate Opel Zafira camper report looks at a model intended for trips and everyday use.
If two large vehicles meet where the road or tunnel is too narrow for them to pass, one has to reverse. Radio calls help drivers avoid that situation before they reach the tightest sections.
Catalonia’s Servei Català de Trànsit monitors N-260 traffic and reports incidents by kilometre point. On 6 November 2026, an accident was recorded between kilometres 102 and 103 at Sant Joan de les Abadesses, affecting both directions. Traffic reports on 11 November also listed disruptions around PK 280.5 to 281 at Sort. They also recorded problems near La Seu d’Urgell, at PK 228 to 229 and PK 179 to 180. The Sort closure was later removed from the active incident list.
