The sign "No Overtaking" (2.44) prohibits drivers of motor vehicles from overtaking vehicles with wheels placed side by side, trams, and road railways when these vehicles are in motion.

The sign "No Overtaking by Trucks" (2.45) prohibits drivers of heavy motor vehicles used for the transport of goods and heavy work motor vehicles from overtaking motor vehicles with wheels placed side by side, trams, and road railways when these vehicles are in motion.

These two signs do not prevent drivers from overtaking, provided there is no danger, vehicles whose maximum speed is limited to 30 km/h (single-axle vehicles, hand carts with motor, motor carts, work carts, agricultural motor vehicles; Art. 11, para. 2, letter g, 13, para. 3, letter b, 17 and 161 to 166, OETV). Trams and road railways in motion may be overtaken on the right.

The overtaking prohibitions indicated will be lifted by the signs "End of No Overtaking" (2.55) and "End of No Overtaking by Trucks" (2.56).
