Correct answer

  • ACircular como máximo a 80 kilómetros por hora y como mínimo a 60, como norma general y llevar encendida la luz de cruce tanto de día como de noche, al menos.As a general rule, drive at a maximum of 80 kilometres per hour and a minimum of 60, with at least the dipped headlights on, day and night.
Explanation

When you drive in an additional lane opened on the carriageway, you must keep to the speed limits set for it. In this case the maximum speed is 80 kilometres per hour and the minimum is 60 kilometres per hour. You must also have the dipped headlights on, both day and night, to make the vehicle more visible and improve road safety.
