  1. on freeways, but not on high-capacity divided highways.
  2. on freeways and on high-capacity divided highways.
  3. on high-capacity divided highways, but not on freeways.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: on freeways and on high-capacity divided highways.

No pedestrian may walk on a freeway (autopista) or a high-capacity divided highway (autovía). There are only a few exceptions, such as occupants of a broken-down vehicle getting out to reach safety, or emergency and maintenance personnel when their work requires it. The woman in the picture is walking on the shoulder of a high-capacity divided highway, which is prohibited.
