Show answer
Correct answer
- BTravesíaTravesía (stretch of road through a town)
Explanation
A travesía is, by definition, the stretch of a road that runs through a built-up area, so it is always a public road inside a built-up area. Legally it is not considered an urban road, but the 50 km/h limit applies on it. Motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) are roads that normally run outside built-up areas.
