DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When a lane is opened in the opposite direction to the usual one, drivers traveling in the adjacent lanes of the normal direction must use at least the short-range or low-beam lights, by day and by night, and must not enter the opened lane (General Traffic Regulations, Article 41(1)). As for speed, the rule depends on how many lanes they have left: If they have only one lane left in their direction, they travel at 80 km/h at most and 60 km/h at least (or lower if so signed). If they have two or more lanes left in their direction, as the question describes, the general speeds of Articles 48(1)(a), 49 and 50 apply. Therefore, the correct thing is to use the low beam and keep to the general limits of the road. Driving without lights by day is incorrect, and setting a speed of 60 to 80 km/h applies only to the case of a single lane.
