Correct answer
- BSí.Yes.
A travesía is the stretch of road that goes through a town. According to Article 101 of the General Traffic Regulations, in a built-up area on an insufficiently lit road you must have dipped headlights on, whether or not there are pedestrians. Main beam is only for roads outside built-up areas.
