Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the General Traffic Regulations (Article 31(2)), on roadways outside built-up areas with three or more lanes in the same direction of travel, trucks or vans with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg, special vehicles that are not required to travel on the shoulder, and combined vehicles longer than seven meters normally travel in the rightmost lane and may use only the adjacent one, so the left lane is not for their use. A bus with a trailer is a combined vehicle and, at 8 meters, exceeds the 7-meter limit. By contrast, an articulated bus is not a combined vehicle but a single bus made up of two rigid parts joined by an articulated section (General Vehicle Regulations, Annex II), so the length limit does not affect it; and buses of 7,500 kg are not covered by the weight restriction either, which the rule applies only to trucks and vans.
