Question 4450
On this freeway (autopista), which has three lanes for the same direction of travel, in which lane or lanes must a passenger car normally drive?
- In the right lane.
- In any lane, as long as it is the one that best suits their destination.
- In the center lane, to make it easier for vehicles to merge into traffic from the right.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: In the right lane.
On a freeway with several lanes in your direction, a passenger car normally travels in the right lane, like the gray car in the image. It may use the others when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, without obstructing anyone behind it. Choosing a lane based on your destination applies only to streets in built-up areas with marked lanes. You also do not normally drive in the center lane to leave room for merging vehicles.
