Explanation

Under Articles 40.1 and 104 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), anyone driving in a reversible lane must have at least the dipped headlights on, by day and by night, including in built-up areas. The limits of 60 and 80 km/h apply to lanes opened to traffic in the opposite direction to normal.
