Correct answer
No, it is prohibited in those circumstances.
No. Article 87.1.d prohibits overtaking in tunnels, underpasses and tunnel-signed sections where there is only one lane for the overtaking vehicle’s direction. The ban does not depend on having a shoulder or seeing a continuous line. Do not confuse ordinary overtaking with separately regulated special passing situations, which have their own safety conditions.
