BDifficulty 2/5

A motorcycle, with or without a sidecar, is authorised on the road and faces no specific prohibition. May it use a lane temporarily opened against the usual direction for traffic flow or roadworks?

Correct answer

Yes, obeying signs and the lane’s conditions.

Yes, subject to the lane’s conditions. Article 41 admits motorcycles and cars without trailers when opened for traffic flow. For roadworks, vehicles authorised on the road may use it unless expressly prohibited. Use at least dipped headlights, obey applicable speeds and do not move laterally into normal-direction lanes, even to overtake. This is not unconditional permission for every motorcycle on any road.
