On a crossing (travesía) considered particularly dangerous, is it possible to lower the general speed limit?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The generic speed limit on crossings (roads passing through towns) is 50 km/h. However, this limit is not fixed. If the road is particularly dangerous, the limit can be lowered below 50 km/h. To do this legally, there must be an agreement between the municipal authority (the City Council) and the owner of the road (the entity that owns the interurban road, such as the Ministry or Regional Government). It is not a decision that the local police can take unilaterally, as it involves installing specific signage on a road owned by another entity.
