C1Difficulty 3/5

Your lorry travels in the normal direction in a lane adjoining one opened against its usual direction. There are two lanes for your direction. Which lighting and speed rule applies?

Correct answer

At least dipped headlights and the ordinary road and vehicle limits, observing specific signs.

Use at least dipped headlights by day and night. With more than one lane in the normal direction, the ordinary limits for the road and vehicle apply, together with specific posted limits, always adapting speed to conditions. This regime’s 60–80 km/h band is not imposed on these two normal-direction lanes merely because of the contraflow lane; it does apply, subject to the regulatory qualifications, when only one normal-direction lane remains. Do not enter the contraflow lane.
