Correct answer
Yes, as a general rule, although its application may be limited to one or more lanes.
As a general rule, traffic signs on roads with several lanes travelling in the same direction apply to the full width of the carriageway, meaning that all lanes are affected by the indications of these signs. However, there may be situations where the application of the signs is specifically limited to one or more lanes. This limitation may be indicated by supplementary panels, placed below or around the main sign, clearly specifying which lanes the sign applies to. Furthermore, when a sign requires drivers to stop, all drivers in the affected lanes must comply with this order before they can continue on their way.
