C1Difficulty 3/5

For traffic-flow reasons, a lane was opened for use in the opposite direction to normal. Can you drive your lorry with an MAM (maximum authorised mass) of over 3,500 kg in that lane?

Correct answer

No.

No. Contraflow lanes opened for traffic-flow reasons are reserved for motorcycles and passenger cars without trailers, so a lorry may not use them. Lanes opened for roadworks are a different case: they may admit vehicles authorised on the road under works unless expressly prohibited. Applicable conditions must be observed, including dipped headlights by day and night and the 60–80 km/h range or lower speeds when established or signposted.
