Is it permitted to use high beam headlights on urban roads?
Lighting
Explanation
**High beam headlights**, also known as **road lights**, are powerful lights that illuminate a great distance in front of the vehicle. These lights are white and can **dazzle** other drivers.
- It is **prohibited** to use high beam headlights within **towns and cities**. This is because the glare can be dangerous for other road users in urban areas where there is more traffic and pedestrians.
- These lights are designed to be used on **roads outside urban areas**, especially when there is little natural light and driving at more than 40 km/h. In these conditions, they help to see the road better without disturbing other drivers.
Therefore, on urban roads, **high beam headlights should not be used** to avoid dazzling and to ensure the safety of all road users.
