In which specific situation is overtaking prohibited inside a tunnel or underpass?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, overtaking is prohibited in tunnels and underpasses. However, there is a vital exception: overtaking is allowed only when there is more than one lane for your own direction of travel and it is not necessary to invade the opposite direction. Therefore, if there is only one lane per direction, overtaking is strictly prohibited, as the maneuver would imply invading the lane of oncoming vehicles, generating an extreme risk of head-on collision in a confined space with no escape route.
