Correct answer
No, it is prohibited.
No. Article 87.1.b of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits overtaking at marked pedestrian crossings and in their vicinity. Travelling very slowly does not authorise this overtaking. The wording in force since 1 October 2026 no longer includes the former exception based on travelling slowly enough to stop if a pedestrian is at risk.
