Show answer

Correct answer

  • CEs indiferente.It makes no difference.
Explanation

As a general rule, refuges and traffic islands are passed on the right. But if they are on a one-way road, or within the part of the road used by one direction only, they may be passed on either side, because you do not enter the opposite direction of traffic (Article 43 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)).
