Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, traffic regulations establish that all overtaking must be carried out on the left of the vehicle being overtaken. This rule applies to all vehicles, including buses, regardless of whether the right-hand lane is free or whether there are several lanes for the same direction outside built-up areas. The General Traffic Regulations authorize overtaking on the right only in very specific cases: When the vehicle ahead clearly indicates its intention to turn left or to stop on that side. When overtaking trams that travel in the central area on two-way roads. Within built-up areas, on roadways with more than one lane delimited by road markings for the same direction of traffic. Therefore, neither the presence of several lanes nor the right-hand lane being free justifies overtaking on the right as a general rule.
