209. All vehicles, motor, horse-drawn or otherwise, when being driven
upon the highways of this State, upon meeting others, shall turn to the
right of the center of the highway so as to pass without interference, and
in rounding curves shall keep as far to the right of the road as reasonably
possible; and any vehicle overtaking another going in the same direction
shall pass to the left of the vehicle so overtaken, provided the way ahead
is clear of approaching traffic and the operator signals the vehicle intended
to.be passed by the use of his horn or other signalling device, and that no
vehicle shall pass another from the rear at the top or near the top of a hill
or on a curve where the view ahead is in anywise obstructed or while the
vehicle ahead is crossing an intersecting highway; any vehicle so over-
taken shall promptly, upon signal, turn as far as reasonably possible to
the right in order to allow free passage on the left. At the intersection of
public highways all vehicles shall keep to the right of the center of such
highways, and close to the right-hand side of the road when turning to
the right, and pass to the right of the center of such intersection when
turning to the left. Slow moving vehicles, including motor trucks, shall at
all times keep as close to the right-hand side of the highway as practicable,
regard being had to the width and construction of such highways.

All vehicles about to turn from the road upon which they are traveling
into any intersecting road shall gradually reduce their speed to a point
not exceeding twelve miles an hour for a distance of not less than twenty-
five feet before beginning to make such turn, and where the view of the
intersecting road is obstructed, preserve such reduced rates of speed until
the turn has been completed.

All vehicles shall have the right of way over other vehicles approaching
at intersecting roads from the left, and shall give right of way to those
approaching from the right.

The operator of a vehicle about to stop or turn to the left shall give a
signal to those behind by extending or raising the hand, or by a suitable
mechanical device.

All vehicles not in motion shall stand with their right side as near the
right-hand side of the highway as practicable, except in city streets where
traffic is permitted to move in one direction only.
