subject to the right of way laws at intersecting public
roads.

SECTION 209. All vehicles, motor, horse-drawn or other-
wise, 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 reason-
ably 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 approach-
ing 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

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

right, and pass to the right of the center of such inter-
section when turning to the left, and before making such
turn to the left, shall keep as closs to the center on the
right-hand side of the road as practicable.

Slow-moving vehicles, including motor trucks, and
bicycles, 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 highway.

All vehicles about to turn from the road upon which
they are traveling into any intersecting road shall grad-

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.

Except as hereinafter provided, all vehicles, including
bicycles, shall have the right of way over other vehicles
approaching intersecting public roads from the left, and
shall give right of way to those approaching from the
right. The operator of a vehicle entering a paved public
