Explanation

On urban roads and travesías (stretches of road through a town) with at least two lanes for the same direction, marked by longitudinal markings, drivers of motor vehicles and special vehicles may use the lane that best suits their destination, but must not leave it except to get ready to turn, overtake, stop or park. We do not apply this rule on motorways or dual carriageways in built-up areas. As the question talks about a street rather than a road, it is understood to be in a built-up area, even though it does not say so.
