Show answer and explanation
✓ La policía local
The local police, which depend on the ayuntamiento (town council), regulate traffic in the city or town, control parking and help with public safety. Outside the cities, on the roads, it is the Guardia Civil de Tráfico that takes care of it. Protección Civil (the civil protection service) coordinates help in emergencies and disasters, not traffic. Remember: inside the municipality, local police; on the road, Guardia Civil.
