CDifficulty 3/5

On the road you are travelling on, a lane has been enabled for use in the opposite direction to the usual one, for traffic-flow reasons. Are you allowed to use this lane if you are driving a lorry with an authorised maximum mass of more than 3,500 kilograms?

Correct answer

No.

No. A lorry cannot use contraflow opened solely for traffic-flow reasons, even when empty. Article 41 limits it to motorcycles and cars without trailers. Contraflow for roadworks follows a different rule: vehicles authorised on the road may use it unless expressly prohibited and subject to its conditions.
