Question 6190

When passing the cyclist shown in the photograph, is it required to enter the lane for opposing traffic on the roadway?

  1. Yes.
  2. No, because passing cyclists is prohibited.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. With one lane in each direction, you must use part or all of the oncoming lane to give the cyclist at least 1.5 meters of clearance, even if the centerline is solid, as in the image. First, check that no one is approaching from the opposite direction. Passing a cyclist is not prohibited.
