Question 7190

- No, because there is a solid line that prohibits it.
- 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.
