BDifficulty 2/5

During ordinary travel, you overtake another moving car near a marked pedestrian crossing. Does the rule permit this because you do it at a very low speed?

Correct answer

No, low speed does not authorise that overtaking.

No. Current Article 87.1.b prohibits overtaking at marked pedestrian crossings and nearby. The former exception for overtaking at a sufficiently low speed no longer appears in the wording effective from 1 October 2026. The prompt concerns overtaking a moving car, without an exceptional immobilised-vehicle case.
