On a curve of a steep slope, when may vehicles use the center or the left-hand part of the road?
💡 Hint
The key to using the center or left side on a bend of a steep slope is who must have authorized it (Article 13(4)5 of the Road Traffic Act). Consider whether a driver's own judgment can be one of the exceptions set by law.
Answer: ②
Explanation
On a curve of a steep slope, you may use the center or left-hand part only when the Commissioner of a Provincial Police Agency has designated the section and method of passage to prevent traffic danger, and only as designated (Road Traffic Act Article 13(4)5). The driver's own judgment, sounding the horn, or traffic backing up behind are not grounds for using the left-hand part.
