(a) Upon all roadways of sufficient width, a vehicle shall be driven
upon the right half of the roadway, except as follows:
(1) When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in
the
same direction under the rules governing such movement;
(2) When an obstruction exists making it necessary to drive
to the
left of the center of the highway, provided that any person
so
doing shall yield the right of way to all vehicles traveling
in
the proper direction upon the unobstructed portion of the
highway
within such a distance as to constitute an immediate hazard;
(3) Upon a roadway divided into three marked lanes for
traffic
under the rules applicable thereon; or
(4) Upon a roadway restricted to one-way traffic.
(b) Upon all roadways, any vehicle proceeding at less than the
normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the
conditions then existing 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, except when overtaking and passing
another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing
for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or
driveway.
(c) Upon any roadway having four or more lanes for moving traffic
and providing for two-way movement of traffic, no vehicle shall be
driven to the left of the center of the roadway except when
authorized by official traffic-control devices designating certain
lanes to the left of the center of the roadway for use by traffic
not otherwise permitted to use such lanes or except as permitted
under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Code section. However,
this subsection shall not be construed as prohibiting the crossing
of the center of the roadway in making a left turn into or from an
alley, private road, or driveway.
(d) No two vehicles shall impede the normal flow of traffic by
traveling side by side at the same time while in adjacent lanes,
provided that this Code section shall not be construed to prevent
vehicles traveling side by side in adjacent lanes because of
congested traffic conditions.
