DIRECTIONS SHALL PASS EACH OTHER TO THE RIGHT. IF THE
ROADWAY IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR MORE THAN ONE LINE OF
TRAFFIC IN EACH DIRECTION, EACH DRIVER SHALL GIVE TO THE
OTHER AS NEARLY AS POSSIBLE AT LEAST ONE HALF OF THE
ROADWAY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §11-302.
In the last clause of this section, the phrase
"main traveled portion of" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the definition of
"roadway" in §11—151 of this article. In this
regard, see revisor's note to §21-304 of this
subtitle.
The only other changes are in style.
