Correct answer
- BLa necesaria para realizar el cruce con seguridad.The distance needed to pass each other safely.
When passing each other in opposite directions, two vehicles must leave between them the space needed to do so safely. The minimum gap of 1.5 metres in Article 85.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026) refers to overtaking pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles and cyclists, not to passing a motorcycle coming the other way.
