As a general rule, overtaking must be done on the left. Exceptionally, overtaking on the right is permitted:

- On roads with traffic in both directions, when overtaking trams travelling along the central area. (Photo in the question)
- Within built-up areas, on carriageways that have at least two lanes reserved for traffic in the same direction of travel, delimited by longitudinal markings. (Photo 2)
