Question 4928

You are driving at 80 kilometers per hour, which lane must you use?

  1. The right lane, using the other lanes when traffic or road conditions make it advisable.
  2. Any of them, since my speed is greater than 70 kilometers per hour.
  3. The center lane, using the right lane to make passing easier.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The right lane, using the other lanes when traffic or road conditions make it advisable.

In the image, the sign shows 70 over the two left lanes. That number is the minimum speed for using them. At 80 km/h, you meet that requirement, so you may use them when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, for example to pass. Even so, you normally drive in the right lane. The 70 does not require you to use the marked lanes or let you choose whichever lane you want.
