Correct answer
vehicles travelling in the acceleration or deceleration lane.
Faster progress in a normal lane compared with acceleration or deceleration lanes, or vice versa, is not considered overtaking. The same rule covers lanes or road parts exclusively reserved for specified vehicles. It does not remove safety, joining or priority obligations. Another marked urban lane alone is not this exception; saturated traffic has a separate rule.
