Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

It is essential to distinguish the reason why the lane is enabled. If it were for traffic fluency, access would be restricted to motorcycles and passenger cars without trailers. However, since it is due to roadworks, the normal road is blocked, so all vehicles authorized to drive on that road may use the temporary lane, unless expressly prohibited (for example, due to width or weight limitations in the construction zone). Remember that it is mandatory to use low beam headlights during the day and night and respect the generic speed limit of max 80 km/h and min 60 km/h.
