BDifficulty 3/5

At a crest with restricted visibility on a two-way road, overtaking a passenger car requires entering the opposing direction. Does a broken longitudinal line authorise it?

Correct answer

No, insufficient visibility and entering the opposing direction prevent it.

No. A broken line does not remove article 87.1.a’s prohibition where visibility is insufficient and the manoeuvre requires entering the opposing direction. Not every crest has restricted visibility. The statutory exception requires clearly delineated directions and overtaking without entering the opposing area; those conditions are not met here. Article 94’s stopping and parking prohibition also specifically concerns crests with restricted visibility and nearby areas.
