  • Ministry of Development, Infrastructure and Territory Planning of the Junta de Andalucía (for Institutional Merit)
  • General Director of Highways of the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, Francisco Javier Herrero Lizano (for Personal Merit)

Together with them, around thirty people and institutions, with very different profiles (civil traffic guards, Mossos, Red Cross volunteers, researchers, executives...) will be honored this year by the Spanish Road Association with its Medals of Honor and Medals with Special Mention.
