Question 4847
May a passenger car towing a light trailer use a lane opened to traffic in the opposite direction from the usual one?
- Yes, when it has been opened because of roadwork on the roadway.
- Yes, always.
- Yes, when it has been opened for traffic flow reasons.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when it has been opened because of roadwork on the roadway.
It depends on why the lane was opened. If it was opened to improve traffic flow, only passenger cars and motorcycles are allowed, so a passenger car towing a trailer is excluded, even if the trailer is light. If it was opened because of roadwork, as in the image, any vehicle allowed on the road may use it unless a sign prohibits it.
