A significant change in Romania's Traffic Code allows motorcyclists and moped riders to overtake stationary vehicles in traffic under specific conditions. This new regulation, part of Law no. 207/2026, permits overtaking only when there is sufficient lateral space, no obstruction to other traffic participants, and a speed not exceeding 20 km/h. The overtaking is only allowed at red traffic lights or at railway crossings. It does not apply in situations like roundabouts, accidents, or roadworks. The police emphasize that these rules aim to facilitate smoother traffic flow for two-wheeled vehicles, not to grant unrestricted overtaking rights.
