Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 95(6)) establish that, when driving through tunnels or underpasses with no intention of overtaking, vehicles whose maximum authorized mass (MAM) is above 3,500 kg must keep a safety distance from the vehicle ahead of at least 150 meters or a minimum interval of six seconds. Since the articulated bus has a MAM of 22,000 kg, it far exceeds that limit and must comply with this rule. On a conventional road with one lane in each direction, the minimum separation required of a vehicle of more than 3,500 kg that does not intend to overtake is 50 meters (Article 54(2)), not And in a lane reserved for buses, a separation of 150 meters is not specifically imposed.
