From the sign onwards, is it permitted to overtake a motorcycle if you do not enter the area reserved for oncoming traffic?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
Overtaking prohibited with encroachment into the opposite direction (R-305)
The **R-305 No overtaking** sign indicates that:
- **Overtaking is prohibited** for *motor vehicles* driving on the carriageway
- When **overtaking requires encroaching into** the **lane reserved for traffic in the opposite direction**.
Therefore:
- **Overtaking is prohibited** if, in order to carry it out, you have to move into the lane for the opposite direction.
- Overtaking that can be done **without encroaching** into that space is not prohibited (for example, if the lane is sufficiently wide and you remain at all times within your own direction of travel).
