If you are driving on a motorway running through a built-up area, which lane should you normally use?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Although you are within a built-up area, since it is a motorway (autovía or autopista), specific regulations establish an exception to the general urban rule. You must drive in the right-hand lane and use the others only when traffic or road conditions make it advisable (such as for overtaking), without remaining in them unjustifiably. The rule of 'the lane that best suits your destination' applies to conventional urban roads with marked lanes, but not to motorways.
