Question 6958
On a road section through a built-up area (travesía) with two lanes for each direction, may you drive in the left lane of your direction of travel to turn left?
- Only if you are going to pass another vehicle, since such a road section (travesía) counts as a road outside a built-up area.
- No, because on a road section through a built-up area (travesía) you must always drive on the right.
- Yes, because on road sections through built-up areas (travesías) you drive the same as on urban roads.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because on road sections through built-up areas (travesías) you drive the same as on urban roads.
Yes. A road section through a built-up area (travesía) is the part of a highway that crosses that area, and you use its lanes as you would on a street. With two marked lanes in your direction, you use the one that best suits your destination. So, to turn left, you move into the left lane well in advance, signaling and yielding to anyone already traveling in it.
