BDifficulty 2/5

A passenger car travels on a motorway outside a built-up area with three lanes for its direction. With no specific restrictions, which lane should normally be used?

Correct answer

The rightmost lane as the normal rule.

The rightmost lane. Article 31 permits other lanes in the same direction when road or traffic conditions justify it, without obstructing following vehicles. Using the left lanes is not absolutely prohibited. Do not confuse this with a two-way carriageway containing three lanes in total. Certain heavy and special vehicles and long combinations have specific lane restrictions.
