Question 1785 in the bank

It is prohibited to overtake before a pedestrian crossing:

  1. Correct answer: Anywhere, neither in urban roads nor in inter-urban roads.
  2. In any type of road, except in urban two-lane roads.
  3. When a “pedestrian crossing” blue sign is at place.
  4. Only when a “pedestrian crossing ahead” road sign is placed.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Anywhere, neither in urban roads nor in inter-urban roads.

The ban on overtaking before a pedestrian crossing applies everywhere, on urban and inter-urban roads alike, and does not depend on any particular sign or on the number of lanes. A vehicle slowing or stopping before the crossing can hide a pedestrian who is crossing, so an overtaking driver may not see them in time. Signs only warn of or mark the crossing; the ban exists even without them.

Topic: Rules and regulations. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Motorcycle (A), Tractor (1), Private car (B).
