BDifficulty 3/5

In ordinary traffic outside a built-up area, with no special traffic regulation, a vehicle combination is 8 metres long. On a carriageway with three lanes for its direction, which lanes may it use under the general rule?

Correct answer

On the right, being allowed to use only the adjacent lane when traffic or road circumstances advise it.

It must normally use the rightmost lane. It may use only the adjacent lane when traffic or road circumstances warrant, without impeding a following vehicle, under current article 31.2. The combination exceeds seven metres; it cannot freely choose the leftmost lane to suit its destination. Follow officers’ instructions and special traffic regulations where applicable.
