Question 6972

A vehicle that is prohibited from traveling on freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías) — may it travel on a freeway (autopista) that runs through a built-up area?

  1. Yes, but only on the section of freeway (autopista) that runs through a built-up area.
  2. No, and the driver will lose 3 points on their driver's license.
  3. No; it is a violation that may be penalized.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No; it is a violation that may be penalized.

No. A freeway that passes through a built-up area is still a freeway, so a vehicle prohibited from using it must not enter that section either. Doing so is a serious violation punishable by a fine, but it does not result in points being deducted from the driver’s license.
