Question 5138

A combination of vehicles that is 7.30 meters long is traveling on a road with three lanes in each direction. Which lanes may it use?

  1. The right lane and the lane next to it, only when traffic or road conditions make it advisable.
  2. Any of them, interchangeably.
  3. Only the right lane.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The right lane and the lane next to it, only when traffic or road conditions make it advisable.

Outside built-up areas, with three or more lanes in your direction, a vehicle combination over 7 meters long, like this 7.30-meter combination, normally travels in the right lane. When traffic or road conditions make it advisable, it may also use the next lane without obstructing anyone behind it, but never the left lane.
