C1Difficulty 3/5

A 16,000 kg MAM lorry travels on a built-up-area road that is neither a motorway nor dual carriageway, with three marked lanes in its direction. Without a specific restriction, may it use the left lane?

Correct answer

Yes, if it suits the destination and does not obstruct traffic.

Yes, if it best suits the destination and does not obstruct others. Article 33 permits this choice on built-up-area roads with at least two marked lanes in the same direction, except motorways and dual carriageways. Observe signs and lane-change rules; the outside-built-up-area heavy-lorry restriction does not automatically apply here.
