CDifficulty 3/5

You drive a lorry with a MAM of 7,500 kg on a built-up-area road that is neither a motorway nor a dual carriageway, with three lanes in your direction delimited by longitudinal markings. Which lane may you use?

Correct answer

The lane that best suits my destination, without obstructing other vehicles.

The lane that best suits your destination, provided you do not obstruct other vehicles. Article 33 permits this choice on built-up-area carriageways with at least two marked lanes in the same direction, except motorways and dual carriageways. Leave the lane only to prepare to change direction, overtake, stop or park. Heavy-vehicle lane rules outside built-up areas do not replace this urban rule.
