Passing permitted

What it means

The no-passing section has ended; you may pass again when it is safe and the road ahead is clear.

White with black or red; a red circle with a slash means prohibited, a green circle means permitted.

Summarised from the Alberta Driver’s Guide. Read the original: Traffic control ↗

How to recognise it

A white square with a green circle around two cars side by side.

Where you will see it

At the end of a no-passing stretch on a highway.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.You may pass again, but only when the road ahead is clear and the pass can be completed safely.
  2. 2.Still obey the lane lines and never exceed the speed limit while passing.

On the knowledge test

Permitted does not mean required or always safe: the pass must still be legal under the markings and safe for the traffic you can see.
