Can you pass in a no-passing zone?

Can you pass in a no-passing zone?

• A. Yes, if you are in a hurry.
• B. No; passing is prohibited in no-passing zones.
• C. Yes, but only if you are in the far left lane.
• D. Yes, but only for trucks.

Answer: (B)

Passing in a no-passing zone is not allowed. These zones are placed where sight distance is limited or the road geometry makes passing dangerous, so you must stay in your lane and not overtake the vehicle ahead. You should only pass when you are in a designated passing zone, usually marked by dashed lines or signs permitting passing. This restriction applies to all vehicles, including trucks, regardless of speed or urgency. If you approach a no-passing zone, keep behind the vehicle in front and wait until you reach an area where passing is permitted and safe.
