Show answer

Correct answer

  • ALa luz de cruce.Dipped headlights.
Explanation

Road users driving in a lane opened in the opposite direction to normal must have at least dipped headlights on, both by day and by night. They must drive at a maximum of 80 kilometres per hour and a minimum of 60, or lower if so set or signposted, and they may not move sideways into the lane or lanes for the normal direction of traffic, not even to overtake. Drivers in the lanes for the normal direction of traffic, next to the lane opened in the opposite direction, may not move sideways into the lanes opened in the opposite direction either. They must have at least dipped headlights on, both by day and by night, and, if they have only one lane in their direction, they must drive at a maximum of 80 kilometres per hour and a minimum of 60, or lower if so set or signposted.
