Correct answer

  • ANo, salvo que no se invada el sentido contrario.No, unless you do not enter the side for oncoming traffic.
Explanation

The sign in the question prohibits all vehicles from overtaking motor vehicles travelling on the carriageway when this means entering the part reserved for oncoming traffic. The ban applies from where the sign is placed until the next «End of no overtaking» or «End of all prohibitions» sign. When placed where overtaking is already prohibited by the rules, it is a general reminder that this manoeuvre is prohibited.
