Correct answer
- ANo.No.
Explanation
A travesía is a stretch of road that runs through a built-up area, and in built-up areas you must use dipped headlights even if the road is not well enough lit (Article 101.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). Speed does not change this rule.
The rule · Real Decreto 1428/2003, de 21 de noviembre, Reglamento General de Circulación (RGC) · art. 101.1
Igualmente, llevará encendido dicho alumbrado en los poblados, cuando la vía esté insuficientemente iluminada.Read the full rule
