Yes. In built-up areas, on carriageways with at least two lanes in the same direction, overtaking on the right is allowed if it can be done without danger (Article 82 of the General Traffic Regulations), and since 2026 cyclists may overtake on the right or on the left, whichever is safer for them (Article 153).
