Question 1781 in the bank

How are you required to overtake a traffic island on a two-way roadway?

  1. Always from the side having more traffic.
  2. Always from the side of least traffic.
  3. Always from its left side.
  4. Correct answer: From its right side, unless instructed otherwise by any traffic sign.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: From its right side, unless instructed otherwise by any traffic sign.

On a two-way roadway, a traffic island is passed on its right side, which keeps you on your own side of the road and out of the path of oncoming traffic. Only a traffic sign showing a different direction changes this. How heavy the traffic is on either side never decides which side to use, and always passing on the left would put you in front of oncoming vehicles.
