Correct answer

  • Acuando se circule por pasos inferiores o tramos de vía afectados por la señal túnel.when driving through underpasses or stretches of road covered by the “Tunnel” sign.
Explanation

During the day you must have the appropriate lights on in tunnels, underpasses and stretches covered by the “Tunnel” sign (Article 98.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). It is not enough to switch them on only when visibility is poor, and HOV (VAO) lanes do not require it on their own.
