13 AAC 03.050 - Driving on right side of roadway; exceptions and special situations
(a)
Upon a roadway of sufficient width, a vehicle must be driven upon the right
half of the roadway, except as follows:
(1)
when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction,
or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into an alley, private
road, or driveway;
(2) when
traveling upon a roadway that is
(B) restricted to one-way traffic;
or
(3) when an
obstruction exists making it necessary to drive to the left of the center of
the highway; a driver must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles traveling in
the opposite direction upon the unobstructed portion of the highway.
(b) Upon all roadways, a
commercial motor vehicle proceeding at less than the maximum authorized speed
of traffic must be driven as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or
edge of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle
proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an
intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway. However, on a
two-lane highway outside an urban area where passing is unsafe because of
oncoming traffic or other conditions, the driver of a commercial motor vehicle
proceeding at less than the maximum authorized speed of traffic and behind whom
five or more vehicles are formed in a line shall turn off the roadway at the
nearest place designated as a turnout or wherever sufficient area for a safe
turnout exists in order to permit following vehicles to pass.
