DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Lane use depends on the road. Outside built-up areas, on roadways with three or more lanes in each direction, trucks of more than 3,500 kg must normally drive in the right lane and may use the one immediately next to it when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, without obstructing the vehicle following them (Article 31(2) of the General Traffic Regulations). On roadways in built-up areas with at least two lanes for the same direction delimited by longitudinal markings, except motorways and dual carriageways, Article 33 allows the use of the lane that best suits the destination, without obstructing others. That is why the truck in the question may use the lane most suitable for its destination on this urban road.
