Show answer

Correct answer

  • APor el carril derecho.The right-hand lane.
Explanation

The sign in the question, a lane reserved according to the signed speed, is placed on roads to improve traffic flow, organise traffic and make overtaking easier. Vehicles must drive in the right-hand lane. Not using it when it is free is illegal as well as dangerous. So the sign means that the lane above which the minimum speed sign is placed may only be used by vehicles travelling at or above the speed shown, although, if circumstances allow, you must drive in the right-hand lane.
