Question 4122

An additional lane has been opened on this road. Is the yellow vehicle driving correctly?

  1. No, because it is encroaching on the shoulder.
  2. No, because it does not have at least its low-beam headlights on.
  3. Yes, as long as it does not exceed 80 km/h.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it does not have at least its low-beam headlights on.

On a section with a temporary additional lane, all vehicles must keep at least their low beams on, day and night. In the image, the yellow passenger car has its lights off, while the gray one on the other side of the cones has them on. Driving on the shoulder is allowed on this section because the additional lane is created using the shoulders. Even if the car does not exceed 80 km/h, it still needs its lights on.
