Correct answer

  • AEl alumbrado de corto alcance o cruce, al menos.At least dipped headlights.
Explanation

Vehicles driving in a lane opened in the opposite direction must have at least dipped headlights on, both by day and at night, with a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour and a minimum of 60, or lower if so established or signposted; they may not move sideways into the lane or lanes for the normal direction of traffic, not even to overtake. Vehicles driving in lanes for the normal direction of traffic, next to the lane opened for traffic in the opposite direction, may not move sideways into the lanes opened in the opposite direction either. They must have at least dipped headlights on, both by day and at night, and, if they have only one lane in their direction, they must drive at a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour and a minimum of 60, or lower if so established or signposted.
