Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

Under Article 41 of the General Traffic Regulations, motorcycles are allowed to use a lane opened in the opposite direction to the usual one, as long as the lane is properly signposted. These lanes are opened to improve traffic flow and are restricted to motorcycles and cars; they are forbidden to other vehicles. The correct answer is «Yes», because these rules specifically allow motorcycles to use such lanes.
