Roadworks require a contraflow lane. Your lorry above 3,500 kg MAM is authorised to use the road and is not expressly prohibited. May it use the lane while complying with its conditions?

Correct answer

Yes, as it is authorised on the road and not expressly prohibited, subject to the conditions.

Yes. For roadworks, vehicle types authorised on the road may use it unless expressly prohibited. This differs from contraflow opened solely for traffic flow, limited to motorcycles and cars without trailers. Use dipped headlights day and night, observe 60–80 km/h or lower established or signed limits, and do not move laterally into normal-direction lanes, even to overtake. Obey delineation and instructions.
