Question 5053

On the road shown in the photograph, which lane must you use to drive, as a general rule?

  1. Any of the lanes in my direction of travel.
  2. The center lane, provided that my speed is equal to or higher than the speed indicated on the sign.
  3. The lane farthest to the right.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The lane farthest to the right.

As a general rule, you drive in the right lane. In the image, the sign shows a lane for oncoming traffic, a center lane with 70, and a new lane on the right. That 70 is the center lane's minimum speed, so only vehicles traveling at 70 km/h or more may use it, and even then they must return to the right lane when conditions allow. Driving faster does not let you choose any lane you want.
