Question 5055
On a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), a lane is open for traffic in the direction opposite to normal to improve traffic flow. What is the maximum speed at which you may drive in that lane?
- 80 kilometers per hour.
- 100 kilometers per hour.
- 90 kilometers per hour.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 80 kilometers per hour.
In a lane opened to traffic in the opposite direction from usual to improve traffic flow, the maximum speed is 80 km/h and the minimum is 60, even on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía). If a sign shows a lower limit, the sign takes precedence. The normal limits for the high-capacity divided highway do not apply in that lane.
