Where on the carriageway must road users travel?
Traffic rules
Explanation
Vehicles must **drive on the right** side of the road. This is important to maintain order and safety on the roads. Here's why:
- **Driving on the right:** All vehicles must drive on the right and as close as possible to the edge of the road. This is especially important on curves and hilltops where visibility is reduced. This prevents encroaching on the opposite lane and reduces the risk of accidents.
- **Exceptions on urban roads:** In cities, cars can choose the lane they prefer if there are two lanes in the same direction separated by a white line. However, they must return to the right to change direction, park, or overtake. Bicycles, mopeds, and vehicles for people with reduced mobility must always drive on the right, regardless of lane separation.
- **Rules on roads with refuges or islands:** When there are refuges or islands on the road, you must drive on the right side of these, unless the road is one-way, in which case you can drive on either side.
In summary, driving on the right is a basic rule that helps maintain traffic flow and safety on the roads.
