On a three-lane motorway, the right lane is clear; which lane must you drive in?
Traffic rules
Explanation
On a three-lane motorway, the **general rule** is to drive in the **right lane**. This is because, on two-way roads with three lanes, the central lane should only be used for overtaking or changing direction to the left. The left lane should not be occupied in these situations.
Additionally, on roads outside built-up areas, vehicles must drive as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway. This ensures that the part of the roadway corresponding to the opposite direction is kept clear, improving road safety.
Therefore, on a three-lane motorway, if the right lane is free, it should be used as the general rule.
