Where the marking "no crossing to the right side of the road to overtake" is present, all overtaking of any kind is prohibited.

Explanation

Marking No. 2 prohibits crossing over into the right-hand side of the road in order to overtake. It does not by itself ban overtaking that stays on your own side.
