As a general rule, are you permitted to drive in a temporary additional lane in command of a truck whose maximum authorized mass is 7,500 kg?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A temporary additional lane (General Traffic Regulations, Article 42(1)) is set up with temporary signage and delineation elements on two-way roadways with shoulders, and means having, by using both shoulders, two lanes in one direction and one in the other. The article does not reserve it for particular vehicles, so a 7,500 kg truck may drive in it normally. Those using it and those traveling on the shoulders must have at least the low beam on, day and night, and drive between 60 and 80 km/h (or at the lower speed that is set). It is not a lane reserved for passenger cars without a trailer and motorcycles: that limitation applies to the lane set up in the direction opposite to the usual one for traffic-flow reasons (Article 41(1)). And the article does not require the truck to use the right shoulder either.
