Correct answer

  • ASí, salvo que exista prohibición expresa.Yes, unless it is expressly prohibited.
Explanation

It is correct to drive in a lane opened in the opposite direction to the usual one, provided there is no express prohibition. When there are roadworks, the authorities may open temporary lanes to help traffic, and if there are no signs prohibiting vehicles with trailers from using the lane, it may be used.
