Correct answer
- BSí, si es el que mejor conviene a nuestro destino.Yes, if it is the one that best suits our destination.
In built-up areas, if there is more than one lane in the same direction and they are marked by road markings, you may drive in the lane that best suits your destination. It is not necessary to drive in the right-hand lane. If the lanes are not marked by longitudinal lines, there are considered to be as many lanes as motor cars (other than motorcycles) can fit side by side. In that case, we must drive in the right-hand lane.
