Show answer

Correct answer

  • C80 km/h.80 km/h.
Explanation

The general limit on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) running through built-up areas is 80 km/h (Article 50.6 of the General Traffic Regulations). It may be raised by agreement between the local council and the road authority, with specific signs, but never above the limits for outside built-up areas.
