Is overtaking allowed immediately before a pedestrian crossing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. No, it is not allowed there
- Step 1: Pedestrians can be hidden by a stopped vehicle. Step 2. Do not overtake near a crossing. Answer: No, it is not allowed there. Why not the others: Yes, if the road ahead is clear: visibility of the road does not cure the hidden pedestrian risk. Yes, for motorcycles only: the ban near a crossing covers all vehicles, motorcycles included. Yes, if you slow to 20 km/h: slowing down does not reveal a pedestrian hidden by the vehicle you are passing.
