Correct answer

  • CNo, está prohibido circular por ambas vías.No, they are not allowed on either.
Explanation

Article 38.1 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits animal-drawn vehicles, bicycles, mopeds and vehicles for people with reduced mobility on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías). A moped does have an engine, but its maximum speed of 45 km/h is not compatible with these roads.
