Are you allowed in this situation, in the built-up area, to overtake the vehicle from the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving in a built-up area along a street which has two traffic lanes in your direction, marked with arrows on the roadway; a red car is driving in the left lane, and the right lane is free. On such a roadway you may also overtake on the right. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act allows overtaking on the right on a section of road with marked traffic lanes: on a one-way roadway always, and on a two-way roadway when at least two lanes in a built-up area (three outside it) lead in the same direction. When overtaking on the right, you exercise particular caution: you check that the vehicle being overtaken is not switching on its right indicator, and you remember the pedestrians and cyclists at the right edge.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 2 and para. 10 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
