Where one of the two vehicles which are about to pass is obliged to reverse in order to make passing possible, combinations of vehicles shall have the right of way over other vehicles, heavy vehicles over light vehicles and buses over lorries; where both vehicles are of the same category, it is the driver of the vehicle proceeding downhill who should reverse unless it is manifestly easier for the driver of the vehicle proceeding uphill to do so, for example, if the latter is near a lay-by.”

12. Ad Article 13 of the Convention (Speed and distance between vehicles)

Paragraph 1

This paragraph shall be read as follows:

“Every driver of a vehicle shall, when adjusting the speed of his vehicle, pay constant regard to the circumstances, in particular the lie of the land, the state of the road, the condition and load of his vehicle, the weather conditions and the density of traffic, so as to be able to stop his vehicle within his range of forward vision and short of any foreseeable obstruction. He shall slow down and if necessary stop whenever circumstances so require, and particularly when visibility is not good.”

Paragraph 4

This paragraph, including its subparagraphs (a) and (b) shall be read as follows:

“Outside built-up areas, on roads where only one lane is allotted to traffic in the direction concerned, in order to facilitate overtaking, drivers of vehicles which are subject to a special speed restriction, and drivers of vehicles or of combinations of vehicles of more than 7 m overall length shall, except when they are overtaking or preparing to overtake, keep at such distances from power-driven vehicles ahead of them that other vehicles overtaking them can without danger move into the space in front of the overtaken vehicle. However, this provision shall not apply in very dense traffic or in circumstances where overtaking is prohibited.”

14. Ad Article 15 of the Convention (Special regulations relating to regular public-transport service vehicles)

Paragraph 1

This paragraph shall be read as follows:

“Pedestrians shall, wherever possible, avoid using the carriageway; if they use it they shall do so with care and they shall not unnecessarily obstruct or impede traffic.”

“(a) Outside built-up areas, pedestrians walking on the carriageway shall keep to the side opposite to that appropriate to the direction of traffic, except where to do so places them in danger, or in special circumstances. However, persons pushing a cycle, a moped or a motor cycle, handicapped persons travelling in invalid chairs and groups of pedestrians led by a person in charge or forming a procession, shall keep to the side of the carriageway appropriate to the direction of traffic. Unless they form a procession, pedestrians using a carriageway shall move in single file, if possible and if traffic safety so requires particularly when visibility is poor or there is very dense vehicular traffic.

Additional paragraphs to be inserted at the end of this Article

These paragraphs shall be read as follows:

“— When, on roads reserved for pedestrians, certain vehicles are allowed entry in particular circumstances, domestic legislation may lay down regulations governing the behaviour of road users, so as to avoid any conflict between the various road users and set a maximum speed limit so that drivers could stop in time to avoid endangering pedestrians.

— No driver shall enter a pedestrian crossing without first ascertaining that he may not be obliged to stop on it.
