Correct answer

  • ASí. Porque es una vía de un sentido y los carriles están señalizados.Yes, because it is a one-way road and the lanes are marked.
Explanation

In built-up areas, on carriageways with at least two lanes in the same direction separated by longitudinal markings, you may overtake on the right after making sure it can be done without danger (Article 82.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). So it is not true that this is only allowed when the vehicle in front is going to turn left.
