Overtaking
Explanation
The **obligation to leave enough space to allow overtaking** does not apply in places where overtaking is **prohibited**. This is because, in these situations, the overtaking maneuver should not be performed at all, eliminating the need to leave space for it.
- **Overtaking prohibitions**: There are several situations where overtaking is prohibited, such as on curves with limited visibility, crests of hills, adverse weather conditions (fog, heavy rain, sun glare), behind another vehicle that is overtaking, at pedestrian crossings, intersections with cyclist paths, and level crossings. In these cases, safety and visibility are insufficient to perform a safe overtaking.
- **Prohibition signs**: On roads, traffic signs can explicitly indicate the prohibition of overtaking. In these places, overtaking should not be attempted, and therefore, it is not necessary to leave space for others to do so.
Therefore, in places where overtaking is prohibited, the obligation to leave space to allow it does not apply, as the maneuver should not be performed.
