Correct answer

  • BSí, en cualquier vía, si el tranvía circula por el centro y es obligatorio, si ésta es de doble sentido.Yes, on any road, if the tram runs in the centre, and it is compulsory if the road is two-way.
Explanation

As an exception to the general rule of overtaking on the left, you must overtake on the right when, on two-way roads, the tram runs in the centre, both in and outside built-up areas; or when the road is one-way, in which case you may overtake on either the right or the left.
