Correct answer
On the right-hand carriageway and on the central one when signs permit it.
On roads with three separate carriageways, you must mainly use the carriageway on the right, in the direction of travel, using the central carriageway only when permitted by the signs. Right-hand carriageway: As a general rule, you must travel on the right-hand carriageway. This is based on the principle of keeping to the right on most roads, which helps organise traffic and facilitate overtaking. Use of the central carriageway: The central carriageway may be intended for traffic in one direction or both directions. Its use will be determined by the specific signs on that road. Side carriageways: The side carriageways are generally intended for traffic in one direction only. Their use may vary according to the instructions of the traffic authority.
