Correct answer
- BSí, siempre que sea el carril que mejor convenga a mi destino.Yes, as long as it is the lane that best suits my destination.
According to Article 33 of the General Traffic Regulations, in built-up areas, on carriageways with at least two lanes in the same direction marked by longitudinal lines, except motorways and dual carriageways, you may use the lane that best suits your destination, as long as you do not obstruct other vehicles. There is no obligation to use the right lane, and the centre lane is not reserved for vehicles going straight on.
