When driving along a road passing through a town (travesía) in good weather and visibility conditions, is it permitted to have the fog lights on?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

With normal visibility conditions, fog lights must not be left on, not even on a road passing through a town (travesía). The General Traffic Regulations (Article 106(2)) limit the front fog light to cases of reduced visibility (fog, heavy rain, snowfall, clouds of smoke or dust) or to sections of narrow roads with many curves, and say that the rear one must only be on when conditions are especially unfavorable. Saying that fog lights are permanently prohibited on a travesía is not exact: the travesía does not prohibit them in itself, and in thick fog, for example, they could be used. Using them together with the low beams is not valid either: what allows their use is not the combination with another light, but that one of the cases the rule lays down applies.
