Question 4572

At this change in road grade with reduced visibility, may the white vehicle pass the yellow one?

  1. No, because to do so it must occupy part of the roadway used by traffic in the opposite direction.
  2. Yes, because it has signaled correctly.
  3. Yes, in the shortest possible time.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because to do so it must occupy part of the roadway used by traffic in the opposite direction.

No. Where a change in road grade blocks your view, passing is prohibited if it requires entering the oncoming side. In the image, the white car would have to enter the oncoming lane without being able to see whether anyone is approaching. A broken line, using a turn signal, or doing it quickly does not make it allowed.
