Question:
What is the right interpretation of the traffic sign RT214?
Answer:
Sign TR214 means that overtaking is prohibited for the next 500 metres.
It is a regulatory sign and therefore the rule must be obeyed. The yellow background indicates that this is a temporary situation, such as during road repairs or construction, where it is currently not safe to overtake.
The fact that it a temporary sign in no way suggests that it need not be obeyed.
