DIVIETO DI SORPASSO

It is a prohibitory sign and forbids all vehicles from overtaking motor vehicles (including electric ones), except for mopeds and motorcycles. In practice, when this sign is present, only non-motorized vehicles (bicycles, hand-carts, horse-drawn carriages, animal-drawn vehicles), motorcycles, and mopeds may be overtaken. Note: the prohibition of overtaking must be observed by all motor vehicles, including mopeds and motorcycles (therefore, they may be overtaken, but they cannot overtake). This applies even if the maneuver can be completed within the half-carriageway, without crossing the continuous line. It is valid 24 hours a day and can be found on both urban and extra-urban roads. It may be accompanied by an additional panel stating 'CONTINUES' (CONTINUA), for example after an intersection, to indicate the continuation of the prohibition.
