Correct answer
- CSí, porque la vía tiene dos sentidos de circulación.Yes, because the road has two directions of traffic.
As a general rule you must overtake on the left. As an exception, you may overtake on the right: - When the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is clearly indicating their intention to turn left or to stop on that side, as long as there is room to do it safely. - On roads with traffic in both directions, trams running in the central part of the road. - In built-up areas, on carriageways with at least two lanes for traffic in the same direction, marked by longitudinal lines.
