You can legally overtake the truck on this road, but only if it is safe and you do not exceed the 90 km/h speed limit. Because the centre line is broken, it generally indicates that overtaking is permitted on that stretch, provided:

  • There is enough clear distance ahead to complete the overtake safely.
  • There are no signs saying “No Overtaking” or similar restrictions.
  • You stay at or below the 90 km/h limit while overtaking.
  • You can move back into your lane without forcing any vehicle (in front or behind, or oncoming) to brake or swerve.

So the test is: the road marking makes it legal in principle, but you must still decide not to overtake if it is not safe in the actual conditions (e.g., curves, hills, poor visibility, oncoming traffic).
