  • ANo, porque está prohibido.No, because it is prohibited.
Explanation

A car towing a trailer that is not light is prohibited from using a lane opened in the opposite direction to the usual one. These lanes may only be used by motorcycles and by cars without a trailer. So a car towing a trailer that is not light may not use that lane.
