Question 5446

In which lane must you drive on a two-way roadway with three lanes separated by broken longitudinal markings?

  1. In the right lane or the center lane, and you may use the leftmost lane to pass.
  2. In the right lane, and in no case in the leftmost lane.
  3. In the right lane, and you may use the center lane or the leftmost lane to pass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: In the right lane, and in no case in the leftmost lane.

On a two-way roadway with three lanes separated by broken lines, you drive in the right lane and never in the left lane, which belongs to oncoming traffic, like the white car in the image. The center lane is used only to pass when needed and to turn left, so the left lane cannot be used for passing either.
