BDifficulty 2/5

A passenger car intends to overtake another moving car at a marked pedestrian crossing, with no exceptional passing situation applying. Is reducing speed sufficient to permit overtaking?

Correct answer

No; reducing speed does not authorise that overtaking manoeuvre.

No. Current Article 87.1.b prohibits overtaking at marked pedestrian crossings and in their vicinity. From 1 October 2026, the former exception permitting it at sufficiently low speed was removed. Reducing speed does not authorise that ordinary overtaking manoeuvre.
