You are prohibited from overtaking a column of vehicles that are waiting, if by this maneuver one enters the opposite direction of travel. You have this prohibition in all situations in which a column of vehicles waiting has formed, even in the case of columns of vehicles stopped at the red color of the traffic light or at the railway crossings.
Overtaking is prohibited in intersections with unregulated traffic, therefore, in the intersections regulated only by road signs overtaking the vehicles is permitted.
