Correct answer

  • B90 km/h para los dos sentidos.90 km/h in both directions.
Explanation

On a conventional road the speed limit for cars and motorcycles is 90 km/h in both directions (Article 48.1.a of the General Traffic Regulations). The width of the hard shoulder no longer matters, and only where the two directions are physically separated may the road authority set 100 km/h.
