Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, overtaking is prohibited in curves and grade changes (crests) with reduced visibility, and generally in any place or section where visibility is insufficient. The reason is the high risk of head-on collision. However, the rule allows an exception: overtaking is permitted in these sections if the two directions of traffic are clearly delimited (for example, with solid longitudinal markings) and the maneuver can be performed safely without invading the zone reserved for the opposite direction. The other options (intersections and pedestrian crossings) have their own specific rules and exceptions that do not rely exclusively on lane separation in the same way as sections with reduced visibility.
