Usage Note
Adelantamiento is the act of overtaking another vehicle on the road — the noun form of adelantar ('to overtake'). Traffic signs in Spain read prohibido el adelantamiento ('no overtaking'). In Latin America rebasar and sobrepasar are more common verbs for the same action, but adelantamiento is understood everywhere.
Examples
"El adelantamiento en curva está prohibido."
Natural Translation
Overtaking on a bend is forbidden.
