When passing close to pedestrians on this road, what lateral distance must you leave?
Overtaking
Explanation
Lateral distance to pedestrians on interurban roads
- When passing or overtaking pedestrians outside built-up areas, leave a minimum lateral clearance of 1.5 metres.
- If you cannot maintain that distance in your lane, move into the adjacent lane when it is safe.
- Reduce your speed while carrying out the manoeuvre.
- Remember: it’s a minimum; whenever possible, leave more distance.
