May overtaking on the right be permitted exceptionally in certain circumstances?

Correct answer

Yes, if there is sufficient space.

Exceptionally, overtaking may be carried out on the right instead of the left if there is sufficient space and in specific situations. The 3 exceptions are: when the vehicle to be overtaken is indicating an intention to turn left or stop on that side; when overtaking a tram travelling in the central area of a two-way road; and in built-up areas, when the carriageway has at least two lanes delimited for traffic travelling in the same direction.
