BDifficulty 3/5

A passenger car intends to overtake another moving passenger car at a marked pedestrian crossing. May it do so merely because it is travelling very slowly?

Correct answer

No, it may not overtake that car at the crossing or near it.

No. Article 87.1.b prohibits overtaking at marked pedestrian crossings and near them. The wording effective from 1 October 2026 no longer retains the former exception for overtaking at very low speed. This scenario concerns overtaking a moving passenger car, rather than passing an immobilised vehicle under article 88’s special conditions. Slow down and respect pedestrians’ priority.
