Is it permitted to fully move into the adjacent lane to overtake a pedestrian outside built-up areas?
Overtaking
Explanation
To overtake a **pedestrian outside of built-up areas**, it is possible to fully occupy the adjacent lane if necessary. Here we explain why:
- **Overtaking on interurban roads**: When overtaking people, it is important to maintain a **minimum distance of one and a half meters**. This ensures the safety of both the pedestrian and the driver.
- **Lane change**: If it is not possible to maintain this distance in the same lane, it is allowed to move to the left lane to safely perform the overtaking. This means you can fully occupy the adjacent lane if the situation requires it.
- **Safety conditions**: Before overtaking, you must ensure that there is no danger to the pedestrian or other drivers. This includes checking that no vehicle is coming in the opposite direction.
In summary, safety is the priority when overtaking pedestrians outside of built-up areas, and if it is necessary to fully occupy the adjacent lane to ensure it, it is permitted to do so.
