BDifficulty 2/5

A lane is reserved exclusively for taxis and the reservation is in force. May a private passenger car use it as an ordinary traffic lane to avoid a queue, without other authorisation?

Correct answer

No; a queue does not authorise driving in that reserved lane.

No. Congestion does not authorise ordinary travel in a taxi-only lane. Respect the signs and give priority to authorised users. On sections bounded by a broken line, S-51a allows other vehicles certain specific manoeuvres, but not stopping, parking, making a U-turn or overtaking; that exception does not permit using the lane to bypass a queue.
