When, on a stretch of road where overtaking is prohibited, a vehicle is immobilised occupying all or part of the roadway in the lane of the direction of travel, unless the immobilisation is imposed by traffic needs, it may be passed, even if this requires occupying the part of the roadway reserved for the opposite direction, after making sure that the manoeuvre can be performed without danger. Under the same requirements, cyclists and other cycle riders, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles, pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles and special agricultural vehicles and their combinations may be overtaken when, because of the speed at which they travel, they can be overtaken without risk to them or to traffic in general.
