Correct answer
No.
No. A lorry cannot use contraflow opened solely for traffic-flow reasons, even when empty. Article 41 limits it to motorcycles and cars without trailers. Contraflow for roadworks follows a different rule: vehicles authorised on the road may use it unless expressly prohibited and subject to its conditions.
