BDifficulty 2/5

Within a built-up area, a carriageway has two lanes for the same direction marked by longitudinal lines. May you overtake a vehicle in the left lane on its right?

Correct answer

Yes, after checking that it can be done without danger.

Yes, after establishing that it can be done without danger to other road users, under article 82.3. Multiple lanes alone do not always permit right-side overtaking on every road. Article 82.2 provides other specific exceptions with sufficient space and utmost care. Signal any lateral movement involved.
