DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 87(1)(c)) prohibit overtaking at intersections and in their vicinity because of the high risk of collision from crossing paths and reduced visibility. There are four exceptions: that it is a roundabout or a square with gyratory traffic; that the overtaking must be carried out on the right, under Article 82(2) (such as when overtaking a vehicle that clearly signals its intention to turn left or to stop on that side); that the roadway has the right of way at the intersection and there is an express sign indicating it; or that two-wheeled vehicles are being overtaken. That is why overtaking on the right when that is what applies is a valid exception. The fact that the vehicle being overtaken is traveling slowly and there is good visibility is not an exception: inside the intersection it is still prohibited. And the right of way of the roadway only exempts if there is an express sign indicating it; it is not enough for it to have it unsigned.
