Correct answer
Yes.
The R-306 sign shown in the image prohibits overtaking specifically for lorries whose maximum authorised mass exceeds 3,500 kilograms. However, this restriction does not apply to other vehicles, such as buses, which may overtake lorries provided they comply with the general rules on safety and overtaking. If we are driving a bus, we must ensure that the overtaking manoeuvre can be carried out safely, always considering the traffic and road conditions.
