DDifficulty 3/5

If you are driving a bus on a road outside a built-up area where, due to roadworks, a lane has been enabled for use in the opposite direction to normal, are you permitted to drive in that lane?

Correct answer

Yes, unless expressly prohibited.

Yes, if the bus is permitted on that road and is not expressly prohibited from using the lane. Opening a lane for roadworks permits that access subject to its signs and conditions. Do not confuse this with a lane opened for traffic flow, restricted to motorcycles and cars and excluding, among others, buses and cars towing trailers. Neither “never” nor “in all cases” is correct; carrying passengers does not itself give access.
