Correct answer

  • CSeñalizar con suficiente antelación.Signal well in advance.
Explanation

Any sideways movement must be signalled well in advance (Article 109.1 of the RGC) and must respect the priority of those driving in the lane you want to move into (Article 74.2). In heavy traffic, signalling early lets others adjust; the hard shoulder is not for this.
