Question 7190

On this roadway, is it allowed to enter the oncoming lane to pass the stopped truck?

  1. Only if there are two or more lanes in the opposite direction.
  2. No, because there is a solid line that prohibits it.
  3. Yes, after checking that it can be passed safely.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, after checking that it can be passed safely.

Yes. You may go past a stopped vehicle blocking your lane even if there is a solid line and you have to enter the oncoming lane, unless it is stopped because of traffic, such as in a line at a traffic light. First, check that no one is coming toward you and that you can do it safely. The opposite direction does not need to have more lanes.
