Sec. 14-234. Determination of no-passing zones.
Sec. 14-234. Determination of no-passing zones. The State Traffic Commission
is authorized to determine those portions of any state highway where overtaking and
passing or driving to the left of the highway would be especially hazardous and may by
appropriate signs or markings on the highway indicate the beginning and end of such
zones. A local traffic authority, as defined in section 14-297, may, in accordance with
standards approved by the State Traffic Commission, determine and designate such no-passing zones on highways under its jurisdiction. When such signs or markings are in
place and clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person, each driver of a vehicle
shall obey the directions thereof. Violation of the provisions of this section shall be an
infraction.
