Is overtaking allowed in roundabouts or traffic circles?
Overtaking
Explanation
In **roundabouts**, overtaking other vehicles is allowed, but it must be done in a specific manner. The regulations indicate that overtaking must be done **on the right**. This is because, in roundabouts, the lanes are usually designed to allow the continuous flow of traffic, and overtaking on the right is an exception permitted in certain urban situations.
In general, overtaking on the right is allowed in urban areas when there are at least two lanes in the same direction, separated by a white line. Roundabouts, being in urban areas, allow this type of overtaking as long as the appropriate safety and signage conditions are met.
Therefore, in a roundabout, it is correct to overtake on the right, ensuring that it is done safely and in compliance with traffic regulations.
