Is overtaking allowed at a marked pedestrian crossing?
Overtaking
Explanation
To overtake at a **marked pedestrian crossing**, it is important to consider certain conditions to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
- **Pedestrians have priority** at pedestrian crossings, which means that drivers must yield to them. This is crucial to avoid accidents and protect pedestrians crossing the street.
- Although overtaking is generally prohibited at pedestrian crossings, there is an exception: **it is allowed if done at a very reduced speed**. This allows the driver to stop in time if a pedestrian suddenly appears, thus avoiding the risk of running them over.
- The key is to **maintain such a low speed** that it allows for a safe reaction to any unforeseen event, ensuring that the pedestrian crossing remains a safe zone for those crossing it.
Therefore, the correct answer is that overtaking is allowed at a pedestrian crossing, but only if done at such a reduced speed that it allows stopping in time in case of a risk of running over.
