Question 6185

Should vehicles traveling on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) make it easier for vehicles merging from the acceleration lane?

  1. Yes, for any vehicle that is merging, to the extent possible.
  2. Yes, but only for vehicles merging from the right side.
  3. No, except for public transportation vehicles.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, for any vehicle that is merging, to the extent possible.

Yes. Drivers on the high-capacity divided highway (autovía) have the right-of-way, but must help any vehicle entering from the acceleration lane merge as far as possible, like the white passenger car in the image. This applies to all vehicles, not just buses, regardless of which side they enter from.
