Correct answer
- ANo, debe circular por el carril derecho.No, it must drive in the right-hand lane.
The freedom to choose the lane that best suits your destination in built-up areas does not apply to motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías), even when they run through a built-up area (Article 33 of the RGC). On them you normally drive in the right-hand lane and use the others when the circumstances make it advisable.
