Correct answer

  • BSí, dentro de poblado.Yes, in built-up areas.
Explanation

As a general rule, you overtake on the left of the vehicle you want to overtake. As an exception, overtaking on the right is allowed in the following cases: - If there is enough space, when the driver of the vehicle you want to overtake is clearly signalling that they intend to turn left or stop on that side. - On two-way roads, when overtaking trams running in the central area. - In built-up areas, when there is more than one lane in the same direction, marked out by road markings.
