C+EDifficulty 1/5

A vehicle combination over 7 m long travels within a built-up area on a road that is neither a motorway nor a dual carriageway, with three marked general lanes in the same direction. With no signed restriction, may it use the third lane if that lane best suits its destination and it does not obstruct others?

Correct answer

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

Yes. Under the conditions in Article 33 of the General Traffic Regulations, use the lane best suited to your destination without obstructing others. The restriction for combinations over 7 m on roads with three or more lanes outside built-up areas must not be applied automatically to this urban case. Motorways and dual carriageways are excluded from this urban rule, and reserved lanes and signs must always be respected.
