Are drivers allowed to overtake at marked pedestrian crossings and in their vicinity?
Overtaking
Explanation
Drivers may overtake at marked pedestrian crossings and their vicinity **only if they do so at a speed that allows them to brake in case of a risk of running over someone**. This is important because pedestrians have **right of way** at pedestrian crossings, and drivers must be prepared to stop if a pedestrian suddenly appears.
- Overtaking at a pedestrian crossing is generally prohibited, but it is allowed if done **very slowly** to be able to stop quickly if necessary.
- The priority of pedestrians at pedestrian crossings means that drivers must be especially cautious and ready to yield.
In summary, the safety of pedestrians is a priority, and drivers must adjust their speed to ensure they can stop in case of an emergency.
