Show answer
Correct answer
- BNo.No.
Explanation
The maximum speed sign (R-301) prohibits driving faster than the speed shown. There is no margin for overtaking: the old 20 km/h margin in Article 51 of the General Traffic Regulations was repealed with effect from 21 March 2022. Nor may you exceed the limit because the circumstances seem favourable.
