In the given scenario, is it permissible to overtake a vehicle in the adjacent lane just before a pedestrian crossing?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. Under art. 26 para. 3 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, it is prohibited to overtake a vehicle on a pedestrian crossing and immediately before it. The photo shows a pedestrian crossing with D-6 signs and vehicles travelling in adjacent lanes. The ban applies whatever the number of lanes, in order to protect pedestrians.
