CDifficulty 3/5

As a general rule, may a lorry use a lane opened in the opposite direction to normal to improve traffic flow, without special authorisation?

Correct answer

No.

No. For traffic flow it is restricted to motorcycles and cars, excluding other vehicles, including cars towing trailers. A lane opened due to roadworks is a different case: vehicles permitted on the road may use it unless expressly prohibited. Observe lane conditions and signs; staying below 80 km/h does not give a lorry access.
