At what type of speed are drivers required to drive on the road?
Speed
Explanation
Drivers are required to drive at a **moderate speed** on the roads. This means they must respect both the maximum and minimum speed limits established for each type of road and vehicle.
- **Minimum speed:** Each type of road has a minimum permitted speed. For example, on highways and expressways, the minimum speed is 60 km/h, while on roads it is 45 km/h. Driving below these speeds is considered abnormally slow and is prohibited, except in exceptional situations such as heavy traffic, breakdowns, or poor road conditions.
- **Maximum speed:** There are also maximum speed limits that must not be exceeded. For example, on highways and expressways, the maximum speed for certain vehicles is 100 km/h.
- **Exceptions:** There are specific situations where driving below the minimum speed is allowed, such as when the vehicle is a cycle, is drawn by animals, or is a special vehicle. It is also allowed in the case of vehicles accompanying others, such as in cycling competitions.

Driving at a moderate speed involves adjusting the speed to the road conditions, traffic, and vehicle characteristics, always within the established limits.
