Show answer
Correct answer
- AEn vías interurbanas.On roads outside built-up areas.
Explanation
Most road deaths occur on roads outside built-up areas, especially on conventional roads. This is because these are two-way roads, they have junctions and entries at the same level, you have to use the opposite side of the road to overtake, all users (including slower ones) can use them, and speeds are higher than in built-up areas.
