On interurban roads with three lanes in the same direction, a car may travel in the left-hand lane when the traffic or road conditions make this advisable, provided that it does not impede the progress of another vehicle following it. On this type of road, the general rule is for vehicles to use the right-hand lane and use the left-hand lanes for overtaking or when required by the road conditions. However, in situations involving heavy traffic, overtaking manoeuvres or other justifying factors, cars may use the left-hand and middle lanes, always ensuring that they do not obstruct other vehicles travelling faster behind them.
