Correct answer

  • BEntre 60 y 80 km/h.Between 60 and 80 km/h.
Explanation

In lanes opened for traffic in the opposite direction to normal, unless signs show otherwise, the maximum speed is 80 km/h and the minimum is 60 km/h (Article 41.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). In these lanes you may not move into the next lane, not even to overtake.
