Question 7038

On a conventional road outside a built-up area, what is the maximum speed a passenger car is allowed to reach in order to pass another vehicle?

  1. 120 km/h
  2. 110 km/h.
  3. 90 km/h.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 90 km/h.

Outside a built-up area, a passenger car has a 90 km/h limit on a conventional road (carretera convencional) and must obey it when passing too. The 110 comes from the former 20 km/h allowance, which has been abolished, and 120 is the limit on freeways (autopista) and high-capacity divided highways (autovía).
