Show answer

Correct answer

  • BEn el carril derecho.The right lane.
Explanation

Signs for lanes reserved according to speed (S-50) mean that the lanes showing the minimum speed sign (R-411) may only be used by vehicles travelling at that speed or faster. At 60 km/h you may not use the lanes that require 70 km/h, so you must drive in the right lane (Article 35.1 of the RGC).
