Question 7514
A passenger car is traveling at 40 km/h on an insufficiently lit road section through a built-up area (travesía). What lights must it use?
- Position lights only.
- Position lights and high beams.
- Position lights and low beams.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Position lights and low beams.
A road section through a built-up area (travesía) counts as part of the built-up area, so at night you must use position lights and low beams even if there are not enough streetlights. Your speed makes no difference, because high beams are prohibited in built-up areas whether you are driving at 40 km/h or slower. Position lights alone are not enough for driving. In the image, the passenger car approaching from the opposite direction on this road section has its low beams on.
