BDifficulty 2/5

In ordinary traffic, with no officer directing otherwise, may you overtake a moving passenger car at or near a marked pedestrian crossing merely by doing so very slowly?

Correct answer

No, travelling very slowly does not authorise that overtaking.

No. Current article 87.1.b prohibits overtaking at and near marked pedestrian crossings. Since 1 October 2026, it no longer includes the former exception based on very low speed. The question concerns a moving passenger car; article 88’s specific conditions for passing immobilised vehicles do not give that general permission. Always respect pedestrian safety and priority.
