Show answer
Correct answer
- AEl de posición y de corto alcance.Position lights and dipped headlights.
Explanation
Travesías are roads that run through built-up areas, so main beam may not be used. You cannot drive with only the position lights either; they must always be used together with some other light. We must drive with the position lights plus dipped headlights.
