No overtaking
A red circle with two cars (one red, one black) side by side. An absolute prohibition — you must not overtake another vehicle on this stretch of road. Used where overtaking is dangerous: blind summits, narrow roads, areas with sharp bends, and approaches to junctions. The restriction lasts until you see the end-of-restriction sign or a junction.
