Correct answer
- CEn carreteras con un carril para cada sentido.On roads with one lane in each direction.
The distance to make overtaking easier applies on roads outside built-up areas where overtaking is allowed, where there is no more than one lane in the same direction, and when traffic is not congested. In these cases, as well as the safe distance, we must leave a gap that lets the vehicle behind us overtake safely.
