If, on a road with two lanes in the same direction, one is opened as a contraflow lane because of road works or to ease traffic flow, what rules must you comply with when driving in it with an authorized truck?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When driving in a lane opened in the direction opposite to the usual one (contraflow lane), the General Traffic Regulations (Article 41) require a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a minimum of 60 (or lower if so established or signposted) and at least the low beam on, both day and night. In addition, you must not move laterally into the lanes of normal-direction traffic, not even to overtake. That is why the correct answer is the one giving that speed and the low beam on. You must not drive as if the lane were not installed, because these conditions are specific to this type of lane, nor at the general maximum speed of the road, because the limit is 80 km/h.
