Driving on the right

Driving Guidelines

  • Keep Right: The driver must always drive on the right side of the road.
  • Deviations Allowed:
    • On curved roads or difficult routes.
    • On left-hand curves, if the path is clear and there are no obstructions from oncoming or following traffic.

Multi-Lane Roads

  • When motor vehicles and cyclists share the same lane:
    • Motor vehicles should drive on the left.
    • Cyclists should stay on the right.
  • Left Turns: On lanes allowing left turns, cyclists can ride outside the requirement to stay right.

Driving Guidelines for Multi-Lane Roads

  • Overtaking on the Right:
    • Allowed in parallel lines and built-up areas if other vehicles do not stop for pedestrians.
    • Prohibited: Overtaking on the right by swerving and turning back.
  • Driving in Parallel Columns:
    • Permitted in heavy traffic if there is enough space on the right.
    • Slow Vehicles: Must stay in the rightmost column.
  • Lane Usage:
    • On roads with multiple lanes in the same direction, use the rightmost lane, except for:
  • Safety Lines:
    • Always drive to the right of safety lines.
  • Passing Traffic Islands:
    • Pass stop islands on the right unless a left turn is needed at a junction.
  • Distance from the Road Edge:
    • Maintain a sufficient distance from the right edge, especially when driving fast, at night, and on curves.
  • Lane Changes:
    • Change lanes only if it does not endanger other traffic.
