Is it considered overtaking when vehicles traveling in the acceleration lane move faster than those in the normal lane?
Joining traffic
Explanation
**Overtaking** is a maneuver that involves passing other vehicles that are moving more slowly. For it to be considered overtaking, the vehicle that overtakes must change lanes and increase its speed, always respecting speed limits and maintaining an adequate safety distance.
In the case of **acceleration lanes**, these are designed for vehicles to increase their speed and merge into the flow of traffic safely. When a vehicle in an acceleration lane moves faster than vehicles in the regular lane, it is not considered overtaking. This is because the purpose of the acceleration lane is to facilitate merging into traffic, not to pass other vehicles.
Therefore, the fact that vehicles in the acceleration lane move faster than those in the regular lane **is not considered overtaking in any case**.
