Question 4248

This urban road has three lanes in each direction; which lane must you drive in?

  1. In the lane most appropriate for getting to my destination.
  2. In the right lane, using the other lanes only to pass.
  3. It depends on the speed of my vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: In the lane most appropriate for getting to my destination.

In a built-up area, if there are at least two lanes in your direction separated by longitudinal lines, you may use whichever best suits your destination, provided you do not obstruct others. The avenue in the image has three marked lanes in each direction, so you choose the one that best takes you where you are going and leave it only to turn, pass, stop, or park. Keeping right is the general rule outside built-up areas, and the car's speed does not determine the lane.
