As a general rule, which part of the road is intended for the circulation of cars?
Basic concepts
Explanation
The **carriageway** is the part of the road intended for the circulation of vehicles, including cars. It is the area where the **lanes** are located, which are the divisions within the carriageway where vehicles must travel.
- Vehicles must travel on the **right** side of the carriageway, especially on two-way roads.
- On roads with **three carriageways**, the middle carriageway can have one or two directions, while the lateral ones have only one direction.
- The **hard shoulders** are not for the normal circulation of cars; they are used in cases of emergency or breakdowns.
- The **central reservation** is a separation between carriageways of opposite directions and is not intended for vehicle circulation.
Therefore, the carriageway is the part of the road specifically designed for cars to travel safely and orderly.
