Of the following options, which type of road is considered an urban road when running through a built-up area?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Travesía (Through Road). A 'travesía' is legally defined as a section of a highway/road that runs through a built-up area. Although it originates as an interurban road, once it enters the town, it adopts the traffic rules of urban roads (such as the general speed limit of 50 km/h or 30 km/h depending on the case, and local priority rules), unless specific signage indicates otherwise. 'Autovías' (Dual Carriageways) and 'Autopistas' (Motorways) are roads specially built and signed primarily for fast traffic, and they do not become 'travesías' simply by passing near or through an urban zone, as they maintain their own isolated characteristics.
