Show answer

Correct answer

  • C60 km/h60 km/h
Explanation

Article 49.1 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits driving motor vehicles on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) at less than 60 km/h, unless there is a justified reason. This is a fixed figure for these roads; the rule of half the general limit applies on other roads.
