Is it permitted to use main beam headlights (high beams) when driving on a town road (travesía)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly prohibited. A travesía is defined as a section of road that runs through a built-up area (town). According to General Traffic Regulations, the use of high beams (main beam headlights) is prohibited on urban roads and travesías, regardless of the lighting conditions (even if the road is insufficiently lit). In these areas, you must always drive with low beams (dipped headlights) to avoid dazzling pedestrians and other road users in a populated environment.
