Question 5243

Because of roadwork on the roadway, a lane has been opened for traffic traveling in the opposite direction from normal. Which vehicles may use it?

  1. Passenger cars without a trailer, adaptable dual-purpose vehicles (vehículos mixtos adaptables), and motorcycles.
  2. All vehicles authorized to travel on the road undergoing work, unless expressly prohibited.
  3. Only passenger cars without a trailer and motorcycles.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: All vehicles authorized to travel on the road undergoing work, unless expressly prohibited.

If the lane in the opposite direction from usual is opened because of roadwork, any vehicle allowed to travel on the road undergoing work may use it unless a sign prohibits it. The restriction to passenger cars without trailers and motorcycles only applies when it is opened to improve traffic flow.
