Correct answer

  • CSí, cuando haya sido abierto por obras en la calzada.Yes, when it has been opened because of roadworks on the carriageway.
Explanation

Lanes opened in the opposite direction to normal to keep traffic flowing may only be used by motorcycles, with or without a sidecar, and cars. However, when they are opened because of roadworks, all vehicles allowed on that road may use them, including cars with trailers, unless this is expressly prohibited.
