Question 5657

In view of the sign, may a passenger car travel faster than 70 km/h in the right lane?

  1. Yes, because I must drive in the right lane whenever possible.
  2. Yes, because the left lanes are for vehicles traveling under 70 km/h.
  3. No, because the right lane is for slow-moving traffic.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because I must drive in the right lane whenever possible.

The sign indicates that a third lane opens up, and the blue circles with 70 set minimum speeds only for the two left lanes. There is no number above the right lane, so you may use it at more than 70 km/h, within the road's speed limit. Outside built-up areas, you must use the right lane whenever circumstances permit, whether you are driving fast or slowly.
