BDifficulty 3/5

Within a built-up area there are two clearly marked lanes in your direction. If it is safe, may you overtake a vehicle in the left lane on its right?

Correct answer

Yes, in those urban conditions and if safe.

Yes, under Article 82.3: within a built-up area, with at least two marked lanes in the same direction, right-side overtaking is permitted if safe. Multiple lanes alone do not permit it on every road. Other applicable safety and signalling requirements must also be satisfied.
