Question 5498
On this urban road, is passing on the right allowed?
- Yes, because it is a one-way road and the lanes are marked.
- No, passing must always be done on the left.
- Yes, but only when the vehicle ahead is going to turn left.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because it is a one-way road and the lanes are marked.
Yes. In a built-up area, on a roadway with at least two lanes in your direction separated by road markings, like this one-way street, you may pass on the right after first checking that it is safe. The vehicle ahead does not have to be turning left; that is a separate case in which passing on the right is also allowed.
