When driving a truck with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of 5,000 kg, is it permitted to enter a contraflow lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The rule distinguishes the reason why a contraflow lane is opened (General Traffic Regulations, Article 41(1)): For traffic flow reasons: only motorcycles and passenger cars may use it; it is prohibited to all other vehicles, including trucks, whatever their maximum authorized mass (MAM). For road works on the roadway: all types of vehicles authorized to travel on the road under construction may drive in it, unless expressly prohibited. Therefore, a truck of 5,000 kg MAM may only use that lane when it has been opened because of road works on the roadway. Prohibiting it in all cases, or allowing it when it is for traffic flow, does not comply with the rule.
