Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, unless the two directions of travel are clearly separated and the maneuver can be completed without entering the lanes for oncoming traffic.

As a general rule, passing is prohibited when visibility is limited. The exception requires the two directions of traffic to be clearly separated and the maneuver to be completed without entering the opposite direction of travel.
