On which type of roads is it absolutely forbidden to drive with the high beam (main beam) headlights switched on?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is inside built-up areas. According to General Traffic Regulations, it is forbidden to use high beams (main beams) on urban roads and through roads (travesías), regardless of whether they are lit or not, due to the high risk of dazzling pedestrians and other road users. In these areas, you must always drive with dipped headlights (low beams). In tunnels or on interurban roads, high beams are permitted (and sometimes mandatory) if the road is insufficiently lit and you do not dazzle other users.
