Correct answer

  • ASí, es el carril adecuado para girar a la izquierda.Yes, it is the correct lane for turning left.
Explanation

To turn left on a two-way carriageway, you must move in good time close to the longitudinal marking that separates the two directions (Article 75.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)). With two lanes in each direction, that means positioning yourself in the left lane, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise.
