Correct answer
where overtaking is prohibited.
Where overtaking is prohibited, the additional gap intended to let a following vehicle overtake is not required. This does not remove the safe following distance needed to stop without collision. Article 54 also excepts built-up areas, more than one lane in the same direction and traffic so congested that overtaking is impossible; it does not except every conventional road or road with one lane per direction.
