In this scenario, are you permitted to overtake the vehicle travelling in the lane to your left?

In the video, you are driving in town in the right lane of a one-way roadway of a dual carriageway and approaching a junction with traffic lights; the light for your lane is green, and in the left lane, which is for turning left, there is a red car. You are allowed to overtake the vehicle in the lane on your left. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act allows overtaking on the right on a section of road with marked lanes on a one-way roadway; overtaking at a junction is prohibited, but not at one where traffic is controlled by traffic lights. Both conditions are met: the roadway is one-way, the lanes are marked with road markings, and the traffic lights at the junction are working. So, staying in your right lane, you may go past the red car. Before that, you check that the driver is not signalling a move to the right lane and that nobody is overtaking you, and as you drive through the junction, you watch the pedestrian crossing - you give way to pedestrians who are finishing crossing, although overtaking at a crossing with controlled traffic is not prohibited.
