Explanation
Under Article 87.1.b of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), overtaking is prohibited on marked pedestrian crossings, at junctions with cycle paths and at level crossings, and also near them. The old exception that allowed overtaking at very low speed on a pedestrian crossing has been removed.
