Correct answer

  • ANo, en ningún caso.No, under no circumstances.
Explanation

Article 38.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) prohibits bicycles on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías). It only allows cyclists over 14 years old to use the hard shoulders of dual carriageways (autovías), unless prohibited by signs; on motorways (autopistas) there is no exception.
