"Class A or Class B" vehicles is deleted.
This definition originally was enacted by Ch.
544, Acts of 1972, for purposes of present
Art. 66 1/2, §§ 5-701 et seq., added by the
same Act. Those sections — which now appear
in Title 15, Subtitle 2 of this article —
related only to those distributors that deal
in Class A and Class B vehicles (see
§15—201(b) of this article and its revisor's
note). However, there are several scattered
provisions of the Maryland Vehicle Law that
refer to a "distributor" in contexts that
clearly are not intended to be limited to
distributors of these two classes of vehicles
alone (see, e.g., §13—113.1 of this article).
Accordingly, this definition, absent the
limiting clause, is retained to assure a
basic, uniform meaning of the term, as used
throughout the Maryland Vehicle Law.
The only other changes are in style.
11-113. DIVIDED HIGHWAY.
"DIVIDED HIGHWAY" MEANS A HIGHWAY THAT IS DIVIDED
INTO TWO OK MORE ROADWAYS BY:
(1) AN INTERVENING SPACE;
(2) A BARRIER; OR
(3) A CLEARLY INDICATED DIVIDING SECTION
CONSTRUCTED TO IMPEDE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 66 1/2,
§1-120.
It has been rewritten to conform almost
verbatim to the more descriptive language
adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 for
present Art. 66 1/2, §11-311 (now §21-311 of
this article), and the identical description
adopted by the National Committee on Uniform
Traffic Laws in 1971 for the Uniform Vehicle
Code definition of "divided highway".
The term "dual highways", which is defined in
present Art. 66 1/2, §1-120 as synonymous with
"divided highway", is deleted as unnecessary;
all present references in the Maryland Vehicle
Law to the former are deleted and the term
"divided highway" uniformly substituted.
11-114. DRIVE.
"DRIVE" MEANS TO DRIVE, OPERATE, MOVE, OR BE IN
ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE
