In this situation, are you allowed to overtake the vehicle shown from the right side?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the right lane of one roadway of a dual-carriageway street in town, separated from the roadway for the opposite direction by a strip of greenery, and on the right there is sign D-3 "one-way road"; a silver car is driving ahead of you in the left lane. You are allowed to overtake it on the right - you are driving on a one-way roadway with marked lanes. 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, and on a two-way roadway if at least two lanes in a built-up area, or three outside it, are intended for traffic in the same direction; the general conditions for overtaking still apply. Sign D-3 confirms that you are driving on a roadway where traffic moves in one direction. When overtaking on the right, you exercise particular caution and keep your distance, you do not drive onto the shoulder or into a bus lane, and you stay alert, because the driver on your left may not expect a vehicle on that side.
