On a roadway with two-way traffic and three lanes separated by broken longitudinal lines, what is the central lane intended for?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This rule applies to a specific road layout designed to manage traffic flow without a physical median. On two-way roadways with three lanes separated by broken lines, the lane usage is strictly defined to prevent head-on collisions: The right lane is for normal driving. The central lane is a shared space reserved exclusively for overtaking and making left turns, provided it is not occupied by oncoming traffic. The leftmost lane is strictly for oncoming traffic. You must never drive continuously in the central lane, as it is a safety zone meant only for temporary maneuvers from both directions.
