Is Overtaking Allowed on Curves?
1 Answers
Overtaking is strictly prohibited on curves, with a speed limit of 30km/h. The reasons are: 1. To ensure the safety of drivers, sufficient safety distance must be maintained when overtaking; 2. According to the relevant regulations of road traffic management, overtaking is strictly prohibited in dangerous sections such as intersections, steep slopes, sharp curves, during adverse weather conditions like rain or fog, when the vehicle ahead signals a left turn, U-turn, or is overtaking another vehicle, and in areas with no-overtaking signs. Most curves are relatively narrow or even single-lane. Even if the width is suitable, continuous curves can make it difficult for drivers to maintain a stable lane position. Overtaking under such conditions can easily lead to collision accidents. In such cases, the rear vehicle bears full responsibility for the collision caused by overtaking on curves.
