A vehicle can traverse an environment along a first region and detect an obstacle impeding progress of the vehicle. The vehicle can determine a second region that is adjacent to the first region and associated with a direction of travel opposite the first region. The vehicle can use a state machine to determine an action (e.g., an oncoming action) to utilize the second region to overtake the obstacle. By comparing a cost to a cost threshold and/or to a cost associated with another action (e.g., a “stay in lane” action), the vehicle, using the state machine, can determine a target trajectory that traverses through the second region and can traverse the environment based on the target trajectory to avoid, for example, the obstacle in the environment while maintaining a safe distance from the obstacle and/or other entities in the environment.
