Within the frame of the RDS-TMC service implementation, the Traffic General Directorate has participated in various projects of international cooperation (FORCE, ECORTIS, ARTS and SERTI) and in normalization activities by the European (CEN/TC278) and national (AEN/CTN 159) Committees.

During the first phase, the Traffic General Directorate codified the North-East of Spain; thus, the service is functioning since year1995, when the Cooperation Agreement was signed with Radio Nacional de España. Later on, in 1999 the coverage was extended to the whole Main Road Network up to the level of First order Autonomous Community Roads. The 1.6 version of January 2005 contains 4.576 codes. The March 2006 version includes 7.763 codes.

The Traffic General Directorate avails for individuals and legal entities the list of TMC (data) points, lines and areas under the following terms and conditions:

1. The use of TMC data is open and free of charge.

2. The Traffic General Directorate owns all rights, including those related to Intellectual Property on data. The use of data will not be understood as a concession, transfer, cession or conveyance of rights, titles, interests on or ownership of data belonging to the Traffic General Directorate.

3. The Traffic General Directorate will not be responsible for any direct or incidental, foreseeable or unforeseeable damages of any nature based on claims for the use, reproduction, publication, exhibition, performance, modification, distribution and commercialisation both of data or works derived from them (including interruption of services or of the availability of data, mistakes, defects or lack of completeness) and their respective updates.

The Traffic General Directorate may update data in the manner and way it may deem convenient without having to inform of it publicly but on the Entity web provider. As it is distributed openly and free of charge, only the Entity, Organisation or Company which includes them in its applications, be them commercial or not, will be responsible for the use of these codes. The Traffic General Directorate waives all responsibility on any product in whose development, production and distribution, etc. has not been directly involved and only requires to be informed on the realisation of any application or product which uses the TMC codes, before it appears on the market or is implemented.
