BDifficulty 2/5

A car travels within a built-up area on a carriageway that is not a motorway or autovía, with two same-direction lanes marked longitudinally. May it overtake on the right if it can do so safely?

Correct answer

Yes, under the stated conditions and after checking it creates no danger.

Yes. Article 82.3 permits overtaking on the right in built-up areas where at least two same-direction lanes are marked longitudinally, after checking it creates no danger. The whole road need not be one-way, and the vehicle ahead need not be turning left. Article 33 excludes motorways and autovías from destination-based lane choice and requires avoiding obstruction. Signal lateral movements and comply with the other overtaking conditions.
