Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is dipped beam or low beam headlights. According to General Traffic Regulations, vehicles driving in lanes opened in the opposite direction to the usual flow must have their dipped headlights on, both day and night, to comply with the principle of 'see and be seen'. This is vital for safety, as you are driving very close to oncoming traffic (usually separated only by cones). Also, remember that the maximum speed limit in these lanes is generally 80 km/h and the minimum is 60 km/h.
