(a) The following rules shall govern the overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in the same direction, subject to the limitations and exceptions stated in this section:

(1) An operator or driver overtaking and desiring to pass a vehicle shall sound his horn before starting to pass, except where prohibited by ordinance.

(2) The driver of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass to the left thereof at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle.

(3) Except when overtaking and passing on the right is permitted, the driver of an overtaken vehicle shall give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle on audible signal and shall not increase the speed of his vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle. (b)

The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:

(1) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn.

(2) Upon a city street with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of vehicles in each direction.

(3) Upon a one-way street.

(c) The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right under the conditions stated in subsection (b) of this section only when such movement may be made in safety. No such movement shall be made by driving off the paved or main-traveled portion of the roadway.

(d) Subsection (b) of this section shall not relieve the driver of a slow-moving vehicle from the duty to drive as closely as practicable to the righthand edge of the roadway.

(e) Except when a roadway has been divided into three traffic lanes, no vehicle shall be driven to the left side of the centerline of a highway or public road in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, unless such left side is clearly visible and is free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit such overtaking and passing to be completely made without interfering with the safe operation of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction or any vehicle overtaken.

(f) No vehicle shall at any time be driven to the left side of the roadway under the following conditions:

(1) When approaching the crest of a grade or upon a curve of the highway where the driver's view is obstructed within such distance as to create a hazard if another vehicle might approach from the opposite direction.

(2) When the view is obstructed upon approaching within 100 feet of any bridge, viaduct, tunnel or when approaching within 100 feet of or at any intersection or railroad grade crossing.
