Correct answer

  • CSí, cuando se haya abierto por obras en la calzada.Yes, when it has been opened because of roadworks on the carriageway.
Explanation

Under Article 41 of the General Traffic Regulations, lanes opened in the opposite direction to improve traffic flow may only be used by motorcycles and cars, not by cars towing a trailer. If they are opened because of roadworks on the carriageway, all vehicles allowed on that road may use them, unless expressly prohibited.
