Question 5740

The driver of a passenger car sees this sign on a road outside a built-up area. Which of the three lanes must they use, as a general rule?

  1. The center lane.
  2. The right lane whenever circumstances permit.
  3. Any of the three lanes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The center lane.

The right lane, marked with a bicycle, is reserved for human-powered cycles (ciclos) and does not count as an available lane for you. Outside built-up areas, you normally drive in the rightmost lane you are allowed to use, which here is the center lane. The left lane is for passing or when traffic conditions make it advisable.
