Why is driving left of center to pass near a hill crest prohibited when sight distance is limited?
A is centered in its lane before a hillcrest. A separate schematic profile shows the crest obstructing the view beyond it. No U-turn or numerical sight distance is shown.
Correct answer: An oncoming car may be hidden until it is too late to return.
Why
Limited sight distance makes an opposing-lane pass unsafe near a crest or curve.
