Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 31(2)) establish that, on roadways outside built-up areas with three or more lanes in the direction of travel, trucks or vans with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg and combined vehicles of more than seven meters in length normally travel in the right-most lane and may use the next one when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable, as long as they do not obstruct the progress of another vehicle following them. That is why only the right lane and, exceptionally, the center one are allowed. It is not true that they can only use the right one exclusively, nor that they can use any of the three: the rule only allows them the one immediately next to the right.
