BDifficulty 3/5

At pedestrian crossings and in their vicinity, is overtaking permitted?

Correct answer

Yes, when it is done at a low speed so that the vehicle can be stopped in time.

As a general rule, overtaking at a pedestrian crossing or in its vicinity is completely prohibited, except when we want to overtake a two-wheeled vehicle and there is sufficient visibility to avoid endangering pedestrians, or when it is done at such a low speed that, in the event of a risk of running someone over, we could stop the vehicle safely in time.
