CDifficulty 3/5

Roadworks require a lane to be opened against its usual direction. Your lorry is authorised on that road, there is no express prohibition and no lower limits are established or signed. How must you travel in that lane?

Correct answer

Driving with at least dipped or short-range headlights on, at a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a minimum of 60 km/h.

Use at least dipped headlights by day and night, travel between 60 and 80 km/h in this situation, and do not move sideways into normal-direction lanes, even to overtake. Lower limits may be established or signed, and speed must always suit conditions. A roadworks contraflow lane may be used by vehicles authorised on that road unless expressly prohibited; a contraflow lane opened for traffic flow is limited to motorcycles and cars without trailers. Take care not to disturb delineation equipment.
