Correct answer
- BEn las convencionales con separación física de los dos sentidos de circulación.On conventional roads where the two directions of traffic are physically separated.
On conventional roads, the road owner may set a maximum speed of 100 km/h for cars, motorcycles and motorhomes with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg when the two directions of traffic are physically separated. This condition is the key point, because it improves safety by avoiding the risk of head-on collisions. So it does not depend on the number of lanes or the width of the hard shoulders, but on the directions being physically separated.
