BDifficulty 2/5

On a two-way carriageway with three lanes separated by broken longitudinal lines and no other signposted arrangement, what is the central lane used for?

Correct answer

For necessary overtaking and left turns.

Only for necessary overtaking and left turns under Article 30.1.b. Normal travel uses the right-hand lane, never the furthest-left lane. Before overtaking, check that an oncoming vehicle has not occupied the central lane to overtake. Return safely to the right after overtaking. A left turn is a different manoeuvre: do not return to the original road after completing the turn.
