Is it allowed to overtake from the right side on national highways?
1 Answers
No. According to Chinese traffic laws, on roads with traffic moving in the same direction, the left lane is for motor vehicles while the right lane is for non-motor vehicles. Overtaking should be done by turning left to pass the vehicle in front. Overtaking from the right side is illegal. True right-side overtaking refers to when a following vehicle in the same lane changes to the right lane, passes the vehicle in front, and then returns to the original lane. Choose the right moment to overtake: Drivers should carefully choose the right moment to overtake. It's safer to overtake when there are fewer vehicles around and road conditions are good; Remember to use turn signals: Turn on the left turn signal when overtaking to alert vehicles behind, and quickly turn on the right turn signal after overtaking to return to the normal lane;
