In this situation, is it forbidden to overtake the cyclist if you keep to a distance of approx. 0.5 m?

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. 5 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: Yes

Yes, overtaking a cyclist while maintaining a distance of 0.5 m is prohibited. According to Art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, the minimum distance from an overtaken bicycle, moped, cycle rickshaw, or column of pedestrians must be at least 1 metre. Additionally, a double solid line P-4 is visible on the roadway, which is forbidden to cross, making it impossible to perform the manoeuvre safely and in accordance with regulations in this situation.
