Correct answer

  • B90 km/h.90 km/h.
Explanation

The general limit for a car on a conventional road is 90 km/h (Article 48.1.a of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)), and it also applies when overtaking: since 2022 you may no longer exceed it by 20 km/h. 120 km/h is the limit on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías).
