Show answer
Correct answer
- ALa indicada por las señales.The speed shown on the signs.
Explanation
When a sign sets a specific limit, for example 80 km/h, that limit takes precedence over the road's general limit (Articles 47 and 52 of the General Traffic Regulations). Since 2022 there has been no 20 km/h margin for overtaking.
