Question 6486

As a general rule, which vehicles are allowed to drive in a lane that carries traffic in the opposite direction to the usual one?

  1. Passenger cars, with or without a trailer, and motorcycles.
  2. Any vehicle.
  3. Passenger cars and motorcycles.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Passenger cars and motorcycles.

As a general rule, only passenger cars and motorcycles may use these lanes, like those in the image; passenger cars towing trailers are excluded. The exception is when the lane is opened because of roadwork: then any vehicle authorized on the road may use it, unless a sign prohibits it.
