SPEED LIMIT OR, IF ANY EXISTING CONDITIONS REASONABLY
REQUIRE A SPEED BELOW THAT OF THE APPLICABLE MAXIMUM, AT
LESS THAN THE NORMAL SPEED OF TRAFFIC UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS, SHALL BE DRIVEN IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE THEN
AVAILABLE FOR TRAFFIC OR AS CLOSE AS PRACTICABLE TO THE
RIGHT-HAND CURB OR EDGE OF THE ROADWAY.
(C) ROADWAY WITH FOUR OR MORE LANES AND TWO-WAY
MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC.
(1) ON ANY ROADWAY THAT IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR
OR MORE CLEARLY MARKED LANES FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND
THAT PROVIDES FOR TWO-WAY MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC, A VEHICLE
MAY NOT BE DRIVEN ON THE LEFT OF THE CENTER LINE OF THE
ROADWAY, EXCEPT;
(I) WHERE AUTHORIZED BY A TRAFFIC CONTROL
DEVICE DESIGNATING A LANE TO THE LEFT OF THE CENTER OF
THE ROADWAY FOR USE BY TRAFFIC NOT OTHERWISE PERMITTED TO
USE THIS LANE; OR
(II) AS PERMITTED UNDER SUBSECTION (A) (2) OF
THIS SECTION.
(2) THIS SUBSECTION DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE
CROSSING OF THE CENTER LINE OF A ROADWAY WHILE MAKING A
LEFT TURN INTO OR FROM AN ALLEY OR A PRIVATE ROAD OR
DRIVEWAY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-301.
Subsections (a)(3) and (c) of this section are
revised to incorporate the substance of
present Art. 66 1/2, §1-139, which defines
"laned roadway" to mean a roadway divided into
"clearly marked" lanes for "vehicular"
traffic. Although the defined term "laned
roadway" itself is not used in this section —
or, for that matter, anywhere else in the
Maryland Vehicle Law — it clearly was
intended to modify provisions such as those
here that refer to roadways "divided into ...
lanes". See, e.g., present Art. 66 1/2,
§11-309 — now §21-309 of this subtitle —
which uses the phrase "clearly marked".
In subsection (c) (1) of this section and
throughout this subtitle, the term "traffic
control device" is substituted for "official
traffic—control device"; see §11-167 of this
article.
The only other changes are in style.
21-302. PASSING VEHICLES GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.
