Hebrew translation:לבלוט, לחדור, לחרוג
Explanation:
I think they mean that the operator of the vehicle should make sure that it doesn't stick out to the opposite lane (since the vehicle may be wider than regular vehicles). So I would say sth like, "הקפד שהטרקטור לא יבלוט לנתיב הנגדי".

agree  Ty Kendall: "Overlap" here isn't the best use of English, we'd normally just say "Do not cross into the lane for oncoming traffic" - the sentence above definitely sounds like non-native English to me, so on that basis לחצות is certainly what is intended here. :-)

agree  Donn Hyman (X): ty's remark is acurate in my poinion. overlap is typically used in the context of חפיפה
