When riding a moped on the shoulder, is it permitted to overtake an agricultural tractor that is also traveling on it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, drivers of vehicles required to travel on the shoulder (mopeds, special vehicles of up to 3,500 kg, animal-drawn vehicles…) may overtake other users of the shoulder if traffic allows and it can be done without danger, warning of the maneuver in advance. The only limit in Article 36(5) is that you must not overtake if traveling in parallel lasts more than 15 seconds or covers more than 200 meters. That the maneuver requires occupying part of the roadway does not by itself prohibit it: it can be done if there is no risk and warning is given. And the tractor driver does not need to flash the lights or use the indicators to make way: the maneuver depends on the overtaking driver checking that it is safe and signaling it.
