Correct answer
Yes, if safe and the bus does not exceed 50 km/h.
Yes, if the manoeuvre can be completed safely without exceeding 50 km/h. Dangerous-goods transport has a 40 km/h maximum on this road, while the bus has the stated urban limit. A lorry travelling at its own maximum does not prohibit lawful overtaking by a vehicle with a higher limit. Overtaking does not allow the bus to exceed its limit, and all other manoeuvre conditions must be observed.

En una vía urbana con dos carriles ordinarios por sentido y límite genérico de 50 km/h, un camión que transporta butano como mercancía peligrosa circula a 40 km/h. Si no hay prohibición ni peligro para realizar la maniobra, ¿puede adelantarlo un autobús escolar respetando su límite de 50 km/h?
- No, porque el camión ya circula a su propio máximo de 40 km/h.
- Sí, si es seguro y el autobús no supera los 50 km/h.(Correct answer)
- Sí, y para adelantar puede superar los 50 km/h.
