Correct answer
on the carriageway on the right in the direction of travel.
On roads with two carriageways separated by central reservations, separators or other means, the general rule is to travel on the carriageway on the right in the direction of travel. This rule helps to maintain an organised and safe flow of traffic, while also facilitating overtaking and reducing the risk of accidents. This rule applies to any road divided into two carriageways, regardless of the number of lanes each one has.
