Correct answer

  • Ainterurbana insuficientemente iluminada.outside built-up areas that is insufficiently lit.
Explanation

Every vehicle fitted with main beam that is travelling at more than 40 km/h between sunset and sunrise on insufficiently lit roads outside built-up areas, or at any time of day through insufficiently lit tunnels, underpasses and stretches of road covered by the ‘tunnel’ sign, must have main beam on, except when dipped headlights must be used, especially to avoid dazzling. Main beam is completely prohibited inside built-up areas.
