C1Difficulty 3/5

An 8,000 kg MAM lorry travels on a built-up-area road, neither motorway nor dual carriageway, with three marked own-direction lanes and no specific restriction. Which lane may it use?

Correct answer

The lane that best suits its destination without obstructing others.

The lane that best suits its destination, provided it does not obstruct other vehicles and obeys signs. Article 33 excludes motorways and dual carriageways from this urban rule. Change lanes safely and for permitted reasons; MAM alone does not require staying only in the right lane in this case.
