Correct answer
- ANo, porque está prohibido.No, because it is prohibited.
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. In the picture, besides the road sign, there is a continuous longitudinal line in the centre of the carriageway. This line prohibits drivers from crossing it or driving on it. Therefore, overtaking is prohibited.
