Question 7014

This passenger car is driving on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) at 100 km/h. Is it traveling at an appropriate speed?

  1. Yes, provided that it does not impede the flow of traffic.
  2. Yes, provided that traffic and road conditions allow it.
  3. No, because the recommended speed is 120 km/h.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, provided that traffic and road conditions allow it.

Yes. For a passenger car, 120 km/h is the maximum on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), a limit you do not have to reach. At 100 km/h, you are between the minimum and maximum, so your speed is appropriate if traffic and road conditions allow you to stay in control of the car. In the image, the roadway is dry and traffic is flowing freely.
