The General Traffic Regulations (Article 33) state that, on roadways in built-up areas with at least two lanes reserved for the same direction and delimited by longitudinal markings (except motorways and dual carriageways), the driver of an automobile may use the lane that best suits their destination, provided that they are not an obstacle to other vehicles, and must not leave it except to change direction, overtake, stop or park. This also applies to a truck of more than 3,500 kg. The rule that limits trucks and vans of more than 3,500 kg to the right lane and the one immediately next to it is in Article 31 and applies outside built-up areas, so neither using only the right lane nor using the right one and exceptionally the adjacent one is what the rule requires in this urban case.
