Question 7223
On a two-way road, the garbage collection vehicle has stopped; is it allowed to pass it?
- No, because doing so requires completely occupying the lane for the opposite direction.
- Yes, as long as the maneuver can be performed without risk.
- No, because the longitudinal road markings prohibit it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as long as the maneuver can be performed without risk.
Yes, if you can do it safely. The garbage truck is stopped in your lane for a reason other than traffic, so you may go past it even if the line is solid and you have to enter the oncoming lane, after checking that no one is coming. A moving vehicle would be a different matter, even if it were moving very slowly.
