Are you allowed to overtake on the left of the vehicle moving on your lane in a place marked in such a way?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
You are driving in the far-left lane of a one-way roadway with several lanes, and in front of you a lorry is driving in the same lane. On the left side there is no other lane - there is only a solid edge line, and behind it a central reservation with barriers. Overtaking on the left would require crossing the edge line and driving off the roadway, so it is not allowed.
Marking P-7b "solid edge line" marks the edge of the roadway and means that a driver of a motor vehicle must not drive onto the shoulder; if it were a normal single solid line, you would not be allowed to drive on it either. You are driving on a one-way roadway with marked lanes (traffic in the opposite direction uses a separate roadway behind the central reservation), and on such a roadway the Road Traffic Act allows overtaking on the right - under the normal conditions for safe overtaking. So you can overtake the lorry in the right lane, but not on the left side.
