Show answer

Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

Under Article 88.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), where overtaking is prohibited you may overtake cyclists by using the part of the carriageway for the opposite direction, even crossing the continuous line, if their speed allows it to be done without risk. You must leave at least 1.5 metres (Article 85.4).
