Question 5782

On an urban road with several lanes for each direction of traffic, which lane should you drive in?

  1. The lane that best suits your destination, when the lanes are marked with longitudinal markings.
  2. Always the right lane.
  3. The lane that best suits your destination, whether or not the lanes are marked.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The lane that best suits your destination, when the lanes are marked with longitudinal markings.

In a built-up area, if there are several lanes in your direction separated by longitudinal lines, you may use the one that best suits your destination without getting in anyone’s way. The lines are the condition. If the lanes are not marked, you drive in the right lane and only leave it for a reason, such as passing or turning.
