On a steep section with no possibility of passing each other, the situation shown in the image arises. The roadway has two passing places near the meeting point. Who will have right of way?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On steep sections (those with a minimum gradient of seven percent) where narrowness prevents simultaneous passage, right of way belongs to the vehicle traveling uphill, unless it can reach a passing place established for that purpose first (Article 63(1) of the General Traffic Regulations). In the situation in the image, it belongs to the passenger car, which is going up, unless it can reach one of the passing places first. The order of precedence by type of vehicle in Article 62 is not the main criterion: it is used only when there is doubt about the gradient or the distance to the passing place. And the reversing distance decides only between vehicles of the same type or in cases not listed.
