Correct answer

  • ACuando existan condiciones meteorológicas que disminuyan sensiblemente la visibilidad.When weather conditions noticeably reduce visibility.
Explanation

Pedestrians walking on interurban roads between sunset and sunrise, or in conditions that reduce visibility, must carry a light or retroreflective item that can be seen from at least 150 m away. Groups of pedestrians must also carry the lights needed to show their position and size: white or yellow at the front and red at the back.
