BDifficulty 2/5

A continuous longitudinal line separates opposing directions of traffic. May it be crossed in any exceptional case permitted by the regulations?

Correct answer

Yes, in authorised exceptional cases subject to their safety conditions.

Yes, in authorised exceptional cases subject to their conditions, such as passing a broken-down vehicle occupying your lane under Article 88 safely. Annex I’s general rule prohibits crossing or travelling on the line; this is not permission to overtake or turn anywhere. In the breakdown example keep at least 1.5 metres of safety width and at least 20 km/h below the limit. Being outside a built-up area alone is insufficient.
