Question 6985

On a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), this vehicle is traveling in a lane opened to traffic in the direction opposite to the usual one. In the absence of signs, at what speed must it travel, as a general rule?

  1. At a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a minimum of 60 km/h.
  2. At a maximum speed of 120 km/h and a minimum of 80 km/h.
  3. At a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a minimum of 60 km/h.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: At a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a minimum of 60 km/h.

In a lane opened for traffic traveling in the opposite direction from normal, if there are no signs, you must drive at a maximum of 80 km/h and a minimum of 60 km/h, even on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía). The normal limits for a high-capacity divided highway, such as 120 or 100 km/h, do not apply in that lane.
