AMDifficulty 1/5

To begin an overtake, you encounter adjoining solid and broken longitudinal lines separating traffic directions. If the manoeuvre is safe and no other rule or sign prohibits it, when does this marking permit crossing?

Correct answer

Yes, when the broken line is nearer to the side of the carriageway on which we are travelling.

When the line on your side is broken. Observe the line nearest you when beginning the manoeuvre. If the overtake began from the broken-line side, the solid line may be crossed to return to your lane after completing or abandoning it. The marking does not remove other overtaking conditions or prohibitions.
