BDifficulty 2/5

Within a built-up area, a carriageway has two or more marked lanes in the same direction. If it can be done safely and in compliance with other rules, is overtaking on the right permitted?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes, under the Article 82(3) exception. At least two marked lanes in the same direction are required; there is no requirement for two lanes in each direction. First ensure no danger to other users, obey signs and signal any lateral movement. This exception does not generally authorise right-side overtaking on every road.
