Are you permitted to perform an overtaking manoeuvre in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
You are driving on a two-lane roadway and approaching a junction - a car is entering it from the left, and before the junction, on both sides of the roadway, there are signs B-25 "no overtaking" and D-6 marking a pedestrian crossing. Traffic at this junction is not controlled by traffic lights or by a police officer. The ban here comes from three sources at once: sign B-25, the junction and the pedestrian crossing - you are not allowed to overtake the white car now.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits overtaking a power-driven vehicle at a junction, except at a roundabout or a junction where traffic is controlled, and separately prohibits overtaking on a pedestrian crossing and immediately before it (except at a crossing where traffic is controlled). These bans apply even on a one-way roadway and on a priority road, and sign B-25 additionally prohibits overtaking multi-track power-driven vehicles. You can make the manoeuvre only beyond the junction, when the road is clear.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 7 point 3 and Art. 26 para. 3 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 23 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
