Traffic signals in Spain

Many SVG graphics in Category:Diagrams of road signs of Spain are made with Adobe Illustrator and remain unreviewed. One extrem example is "Spain traffic signal s510.svg".

This very huge file of 491 954 bytes can be replaced by different SVG structures creating exactly the same output picture with less effort.
The SVG renderer present in Wikimedia Commons treats some line commands inproperly, coordinates as <path «m.5.5» are misinterpreted instead of giving the same result as «m.5,.5».
When this bug is fixed, each of the following versions will give the correct picture:

User Zupftom found three better solutions (first two lines omitted):

This means a reduction ratio of 0004, or less than a half of a promille.
