Is prohibited the overtaking on the road section where a column of vehicles waiting has formed, if by doing so you enter the opposite direction of travel. Road traffic legislation provides two sanctions regarding this prohibition:

• overtaking on the road section where a column of vehicles waiting has formed, if by doing so you enter the opposite direction of travel constitutes contravention and is sanctioned with the fine provided in class III of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 60 days;
• overtaking a column of vehicles stopped at the red colour of the traffic light or at level crossings with the railway constitutes contravention and is sanctioned with the contravention fine provided in class II of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 30 days.
