Upon a multi-lane, two way highway, you must never drive to the left of the center line except when authorized to do so by traffic control signals or signs or when making a left turn into an alley, private road or driveway. A roadway with more than one lane is restricted to one-way traffic.A roadway includes two or more marked lanes in the same direction.An obstruction makes it necessary to drive to the left of the center line, but only after yielding to oncoming traffic.Lawfully overtaking and passing another vehicle going in the same direction.When a school bus is stopped to load or unload passengers.On a hill or curve where it is not possible to see oncoming vehicles which might be close enough to be a hazard.When a car approaching from the opposite direction makes passing unsafe or will be within 200 feet of your vehicle prior to the completion of a passing maneuver.Within 100 feet of a bridge, viaduct or tunnel.Within 100 feet of a railroad crossing.In areas marked by a solid yellow line on the right of the center line, or a “Do Not Pass” sign, or double yellow lines.Be sure to turn your signal off once you have returned to the right lane. Activate your right turn signal before returning to the right lane.

Wait until you can see the car you have just passed in your rear view mirror

Pass on the left and do not return to the right lane until your vehicle is safely clear of the overtaken vehicle.

Activate your left turn signal as you begin passing.Before leaving your lane to begin passing, check your rear view and side mirrors, and turn your head and look back to check your “blind spot.” Be certain that no one is passing you.You must have sufficient time and space to execute your passing maneuver and return your vehicle completely to the right lane before the passing zone ends, before entering an intersection, and before oncoming traffic is within 200 feet of your vehicle Look ahead along the roadway to determine the length of the passing zone and if there is traffic approaching from the opposite direction.

If the line nearest your vehicle is solid, you are not in a passing zone. A passing zone is indicated by striped lines to the right of the center line of the roadway.
