BDifficulty 3/5

May a lorry below 3,500 kg MAM use a contraflow lane opened for roadworks, if it is allowed on that road and no express prohibition applies?

Correct answer

Yes, because it is opened for roadworks and those conditions are met.

Yes, subject to signs and lane rules. Roadworks contraflow allows vehicle types authorised on that road unless expressly prohibited. Traffic-flow contraflow is limited to motorcycles and passenger cars without trailers; a light lorry is not a passenger car. Use at least dipped headlights, obey limits and do not move laterally into normal-direction lanes.
