B)Crossing.Correct
C)Highway.
In Spain (DGT regulations), a section of a public road (like a conventional road or highway) that enters and passes through a town or built-up area is legally called a Crossing (Travesía in Spanish).
Breakdown of the terms:
Crossing (Travesía): The exact legal name for a road that cuts through a town. Because it passes through an urban area, urban traffic rules (like a lower speed limit, usually 50 km/h or less) apply to this section.
Conventional road (Vía convencional): A generic out-of-town road that is not a motorway or highway.
Highway (Autopista / Autovía): A high-speed road that is specifically built to bypass towns completely, never cutting through them.
