Traffic rules
Explanation
On **roadways with two-way traffic** and two lanes for each direction, the **left lane** is primarily intended for **overtaking**. This is because, on roads with two lanes in the same direction, vehicles must drive in the right lane and only use the left lane to overtake another vehicle, change direction, or park.
- **Overtaking** is a maneuver that allows a vehicle to pass another that is moving slower, and it is performed using the left lane.
- It is important not to obstruct the passage of other vehicles, so the left lane should not be used for free circulation.
In summary, the left lane on these roads is used for overtaking, thus ensuring a more efficient and safer traffic flow.
