On a two-lane, two-way roadway, how close to an intersection or railroad crossing is driving left of center to overtake prohibited?
Correct answer: Within 100 feet of the intersection or crossing.
Why
Do not drive left of center to overtake within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing on this two-lane, two-way road. The law also bars that maneuver near a hillcrest or curve when the view is obstructed enough to create a hazard, and within 100 feet of a bridge, viaduct, or tunnel when the view is obstructed. A safe left turn into or out of an alley, private road, or driveway is a different maneuver with its own rules.
