Special attention will be paid to other critical points, such as Gtica, AP-8, Biriatou orderage, and A-8, in the Bizkaia section, where traffic is expected to slow due to the large number of cars from Cantabria.

During these days of operation of the device, a special signalling device will be installed atthe Armiñon link between the AP-1 and the A-1 in the Vitoria-Gasteiz sense, at which point, by means of cones and special signalling, one of the three lanes of the A-1 will be provided to vehicles entering the AP-1 on a massive basis, so that they can safely enter the road at 80 kilometres per hour.

The most critical dates are expected to be the lasttwo long weekendsof August , from Thursday to Sunday, i.e. from August 21 to 24 and from 28 to 31, since in recent years the return of the holidays has been more gradual.

According to the Ertzaintza to EiTB, at 1300 hours there were 3 kilometres of withholding in Vitoria-Gasteiz, at the confluence of the A-1 with the N-622, and on the AP-8 motorway in Biriatou, towards Baiona. 

From the first hour of the morning the traffic of vehicles is being intense at various points on the Basque roads, which have led to the first withholding.
