Show answer

Correct answer

  • APor el lado derecho.On the right-hand side.
Explanation

The General Traffic Regulations state that on two-way roads traffic keeps to the right. When the road is divided by a traffic island, each lane keeps its usual direction of travel, so vehicles must stay to the right of the island. Only where specific road signs or markings allow it may you pass the island otherwise.
