Correct answer

  • ACambiar de carril a los vehículos que circulan por el carril derecho.Vehicles in the right lane from changing lanes.
Explanation

When a solid line runs next to a broken line, each driver must follow the one nearest to them. For those driving in the right lane the solid line is on their side, so they may not cross it; those driving in the opposite direction, with the broken line on their side, may cross.
