Can you overtake the vehicle in front of you in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving in the right lane of the roadway of a dual carriageway behind a red car; on the right you pass sign A-24 "cyclists", and further along the road you can see sign D-1 with a blue sign below it, most probably marking a pedestrian crossing and a cycle crossing. You are not allowed to overtake the vehicle in front of you, because you are approaching a place where cyclists cross the roadway. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits overtaking a vehicle on a cycle crossing and immediately before it, except for a crossing where traffic is controlled, and the Regulation on road signs and signals says that A-24 warns of a place where cyclists enter the roadway or cross it. The car in front of you may stop to let through a cyclist whom you would not see from the left lane. You stay behind it and slow down.
Legal basis: Art. 27 para. 4 and Art. 26 para. 3 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 10 para. 6 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
