Does the sign allow the overtaking manoeuvre?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
Overtaking prohibited by encroaching on the opposite direction of traffic
The **R-305 “No overtaking”** sign indicates that it is **forbidden to overtake** **motor vehicles** travelling on the carriageway **when, in order to do so, it is necessary to encroach on the lane for the opposite direction of traffic**.
In summary:
- **Overtaking is forbidden** if the manoeuvre involves entering the **area reserved for the opposite direction of traffic**.
- It applies to **all vehicles** that intend to overtake **motor vehicles**.
- Overtaking is only allowed if the opposite lane is **not** encroached upon (for example, within the same lane and with safety).
