Correct answer

  • BAl menos 60 kilómetros por hora.At least 60 kilometres per hour.
Explanation

Special vehicles may use motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) only if, by their design, they can exceed 60 km/h on the flat, which is the minimum speed on these roads, and they meet the regulatory conditions. Those that cannot reach that speed are prohibited from using them.
