If a lorry is driving through a tunnel with one lane in each direction, is it allowed to overtake?

Correct answer

No, it is prohibited.

No. Overtaking is prohibited in a tunnel with only one lane in the lorry’s direction, including overtaking a two-wheeled motorcycle. Good visibility does not remove this prohibition. With more than one lane in that direction, overtaking may be possible without entering opposing traffic, subject to other signs and safety conditions. The rule also includes underpasses and sections affected by S-5; it does not impose a general ban merely because any tunnel is nearby.
