To improve traffic flow, an additional lane has been opened on a dual carriageway for travel in the opposite direction to the usual one. What is the maximum speed allowed in this lane?
Traffic rules
Explanation
To drive on a **lane in the opposite direction to the usual** on a dual carriageway, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure safety and traffic flow. These lanes are enabled when there is a large number of vehicles that need to move in the same direction, helping to reduce traffic jams.
- **Maximum speed allowed:** The maximum speed at which you can drive on these lanes is **80 kilometers per hour**. The minimum speed is 60 kilometers per hour. This ensures that traffic flows safely and in a controlled manner.
- **Lights:** It is mandatory to have the **low beam lights on** at all times, both day and night, to improve visibility and safety.
- **Lane change:** It is not allowed to change to other lanes, not even to overtake. This helps maintain order and safety in traffic.
These measures are essential for safely driving on lanes that go in the opposite direction to the usual, especially in situations of heavy traffic or when roadworks are being carried out.
