Question 5441

Is passing allowed at a change in road grade with reduced visibility if the road carries two-way traffic?

  1. No, because there is not enough visibility.
  2. Yes, because the broken longitudinal line allows it.
  3. No, except for bicycles, even if the oncoming lane must be occupied.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because there is not enough visibility.

No. If a change in road grade blocks your view, you cannot tell whether anyone is coming, and passing on a two-way road requires you to enter the oncoming lane. A broken line does not make it permissible. Passing a bicycle this way is not allowed there either, because you cannot check that no one is coming.
