In this situation, is it forbidden to overtake the cyclist?
Description
Art. 24 para. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 86 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
Overtaking in this situation is not prohibited by road signs – the broken line P-1 generally permits this manoeuvre. However, it must be remembered that according to Art. 24 of the Road Traffic Act, the manoeuvre can only be started if it does not endanger safety. Due to the approaching vehicle from the opposite direction, performing the manoeuvre at this moment is impossible and would be extremely dangerous.
