BDifficulty 2/5

At a roundabout, with no other prohibition or circumstances preventing a safe manoeuvre, may a vehicle overtake?

Correct answer

Yes, subject to the rules and safe conditions.

Yes. Article 87.1.c.1 exempts roundabouts from the general overtaking prohibition at and near junctions. This does not permit every overtake: observe signs, priority, lane rules and safety. When exiting, do not cut across a vehicle in the outer lane. The permission is not limited to urban roundabouts or based on a guarantee of continuous traffic flow.
