All necessary expenses for the operation of the Traffic Court, including
the salaries of the Magistrates and Clerks herein provided for, shall be
paid out of monies in the hands of Commissioner of Motor Vehicles,
realized and collected from fines and costs imposed by the Traffic Court,
and should said funds be insufficient in any one year to pay said expenses,
then the deficit shall be paid out of other funds in the hands of the Com-

sources.

Whenever the owner or operator of a motor vehicle is accused of a viola-
tion of any provision of the automobile laws of the State, or of any local

before the Traffic Court, or any Justice of the Peace having jurisdiction
to hear the case, he shall be notified in said warrant, summons or notice of
the nature and character of the charge against him, and the day and hour
of such trial shall be fixed at such time, so far as may be practicable, as

PART VI.
Rules of the Road.

An Code, 1924, sec. 209. 1912, sec. 163. 1916. ch. 687. 1918, ch. 85, sec. 163.
1920, ch. 506, sec. 163. 1929. ch. 224.

209. All vehicles, motor, horse-drawn or otherwise, when being driven
upon the highways of this State shall at all times keep to the right of the
center of the highway upon all highways of sufficient width, except upon
streets or roads where traffic is permitted to move in one direction only,
and except when overtaking and passing another vehicle, and unless it is
impracticable to travel on such side of the highway, and in rounding curves
shall keep as far to the right of the center of the road as reasonably possi-
ble; 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 or any steam or electric
railway crossing; any vehicle so overtaken 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, and before making such turn
to the left, shall keep as close to the center on the right hand side of the
road as practicable.
