Correct answer

  • CLo más cerca posible del borde derecho de la calzada.As close as possible to the right-hand edge of the carriageway.
Explanation

On an interurban road with only one lane in each direction, the driver must keep as close as possible to the right-hand edge of the carriageway. This rule helps traffic flow and safety, letting other vehicles overtake safely if needed. Keeping to the right also gives vehicles coming up from behind, such as those about to overtake, better visibility and more room to manoeuvre. Keeping away from the centre line is important to avoid collisions with vehicles coming the other way.
