Is overtaking allowed at this junction?

Why this is the correct answer

As a general rule, overtaking at junctions is prohibited because they are high-risk areas where different traffic flows cross. However, there are specific exceptions to this rule. One key exception is that you may always overtake two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles) at any junction, because their narrow profile does not block lateral visibility. Another exception applies when your road has express priority signage (such as a priority road sign). Important: a green traffic light does NOT count as express priority signage — it only temporarily regulates traffic flow and does not give your road permanent priority status. In this image, the junction has a green traffic light but no priority sign, so the only exception that applies is the one for two-wheeled vehicles. That is why answer A is correct. Answer B is wrong because merely having favourable traffic conditions is not a legal exception to the prohibition. Answer C is wrong because the prohibition is not absolute: the two-wheeled vehicle exception always applies. Note: the October 2026 reform (RD 518/2026) introduced stricter rules for overtaking near cycle-lane intersections and for protecting vulnerable road users, but it did NOT eliminate the classic exception allowing overtaking of two-wheeled vehicles at junctions.
