Question 6508

Provided there is sufficient space and the utmost precautions are taken, it is permitted to pass on the right...

  1. on roads outside built-up areas, at intersections and in their vicinity.
  2. on freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías) that run exclusively within built-up areas.
  3. on urban roads with two or more lanes marked by longitudinal lines.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: on urban roads with two or more lanes marked by longitudinal lines.

Within built-up areas, on a roadway with at least two lanes in your direction separated by longitudinal markings, like the avenue in the image, you may pass on the right if you first check that it is safe. On freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías), you must pass on the left even when they run through a built-up area, and there is no general permission to pass on the right at road intersections.
