Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the right lane, provided conditions allow it. Detailed Explanation: According to General Traffic Regulations in Spain, as a general rule on roads outside built-up areas, drivers must drive in the lane furthest to the right. The use of other lanes (center or left) is reserved for overtaking or when traffic or road conditions advise it. A minimum speed sign (R-411) placed over a lane acts as a filter: it prohibits its use for those who cannot reach that speed, but it does not oblige those who can reach it to use it permanently. Therefore, if the right lane is clear, it is mandatory to drive in it, regardless of the maximum speed your vehicle can reach.
