Question 3844
On a road with two lanes in each direction of travel, is it allowed to pass on a change in road grade with reduced visibility?
- Yes, by reducing your speed.
- No, unless the two directions of travel are clearly marked and the maneuver can be carried out without encroaching on the opposing direction.
- No, under no circumstances.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, unless the two directions of travel are clearly marked and the maneuver can be carried out without encroaching on the opposing direction.
You must not pass at a change in road grade that blocks your view unless the two directions are clearly separated and you can pass without leaving your side of the roadway. In the image, you have two lanes in your direction and a double solid line on the left, so you may pass using the left lane in your direction. Reducing your speed does not allow you to enter the oncoming side.
