According to Article 88.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), even where overtaking is prohibited, you may overtake cyclists by using the part of the carriageway reserved for the opposite direction when, because of their speed, they can be overtaken without risk. Article 85.4 requires you to use part or all of the next lane or the opposite lane, keeping at least 1.5 metres and, outside built-up areas, to reduce your speed by at least 20 km/h below the road's speed limit.
