When are you generally allowed to pass another vehicle on the right?

Passing another vehicle on the right is typically permitted when the vehicle in front is making a left turn or when you are on a multi-lane road where lanes are designated for different directions of travel. This scenario is particularly important for maintaining traffic flow and ensuring safety.

When a vehicle is turning left, it is often positioned in the leftmost lane, which can create an opportunity for drivers in other lanes to maneuver safely around it, provided they do so without crossing any solid lines or violating traffic signals. On multi-lane roads, passing on the right is allowed when you do not interfere with the vehicle's intended movement and when the conditions are safe, allowing for smoother traffic movement.

In contrast, passing on the right may not be allowed under different conditions, such as when the road is narrow or when there is a solid line, which indicates that passing is prohibited. Additionally, while freeways generally allow passing, it is still important to adhere to specific traffic laws and safety protocols in those situations.
