Correct answer
- BGarantizar la seguridad y la fluidez.To ensure safety and the smooth flow of traffic.
Every speed limit is based on a set of technical criteria, with the aim that vehicles travel with the greatest possible safety and smooth traffic flow. One of the most important is the design speed of the road: the highest speed that can be kept safely on a section of road in good conditions. It must never be exceeded, because that would undo the safety conditions the road was designed for.
