Show answer

Correct answer

  • CPor la derecha o por la izquierda.On the right or on the left.
Explanation

Article 43 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) states that traffic islands and refuges are passed on the right, except on one-way roads or within the part of the road used by one direction only. There they may be passed on either side, because you do not enter the opposite direction of traffic.
