Which statement about places where overtaking is prohibited is NOT correct?
Places where overtaking is prohibited are divided into places set directly by law, such as intersections, inside tunnels and on bridges, and places designated with safety signs by the Commissioner of the Metropolitan/Provincial Police Agency (Article 22(3) of the Road Traffic Act). Check whether conditions such as the number of lanes create any exception.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Article 22(3) of the Road Traffic Act prohibits overtaking at intersections, inside tunnels, on bridges, and at places such as curves, near the top of a slope or on steep downhill roads that the provincial police commissioner designates with safety signs. The ban on bridges applies regardless of the number of lanes, so the statement that overtaking is allowed with two or more lanes is wrong.
