Question 5251

What lighting must be on in an insufficiently lit road section through a built-up area?

  1. Position lights and low-beam headlights.
  2. Position lights, along with low-beam or high-beam headlights.
  3. Position lights and high-beam headlights.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Position lights and low-beam headlights.

A road section through a built-up area (travesía) counts as part of the built-up area, so at night you must use your position lights and low beams even if there are not enough streetlights. You must not use high beams in a built-up area, either alone or together with low beams. In the image, the passenger car driving through the town has its low beams on.
