56-5-1930 |Following |Too |Closely |- |✔◻✔◻The |driver |of |a |motor |vehicle |shall |not |follow |another
|vehicle |more |closely |than |is |reasonable |and |prudent, |having |due |regard |for |the |speed |of |such
|vehicles |and |the |traffic |upon |and |the |condition |of |the |highway.
56-5-2320, |Vehicles |Turning |Left |- |✔◻✔◻The |driver |of |a |vehicle |intending |to |turn |to |the |left |within
|an |intersection |or |into |an |alley, |private |road |or |driveway |shall |yield |the |right-of-way |to |any |vehicle
|approaching |from |the |opposite |direction |which |is |within |the |intersection |or |so |close |thereto |as |to
|constitute |an |immediate |hazard.
56-5-2310 |Vehicles |Approaching |or |Entering |an |Intersection |- |✔◻✔◻(a) |When |two |vehicles
|approach |or |enter |an |intersection |from |different |highways |at |approximately |the |same |time, |the
|driver |of |the |vehicle |on |the |left |shall |yield |the |right-of-way |to |the |vehicle |on |the |right.
,(b) |The |right-of-way |rule |in |subsection |(a) |is |modified |at |through |highways |and |as |otherwise |provided
|in |this |chapter.
,56-5-2330 |Stop |signs |and |yield |signs |- |✔◻✔◻(a) |Preferential |right-of-way |may |be |indicated |by |stop
|signs |or |yield |signs |as |authorized |by |the |Department |of |Transportation |or |local |authorities.
(b) |Except |when |directed |to |proceed |by |a |police |officer, |every |driver |of |a |vehicle |approaching |a |stop
|sign |shall |stop |at |a |clearly |marked |stop |line |but, |if |none, |before |entering |the |crosswalk |on |the |near
|side |of |the |intersection |or, |if |none, |then |at |the |point |nearest |the |intersecting |roadway |where |the
|driver |has |a |view |of |approaching |traffic |on |the |intersecting |roadway |before |entering |it. |After |having
|stopped, |the |driver |shall |yield |the |right-of-way |to |any |vehicle |in |the |intersection |or |approaching |on
|another |roadway |so |closely |as |to |constitute |an |immediate |hazard |during |the |time |when |such |driver
|is |moving |across |or | within |the |intersection |or |junction |of |roadways.
(c) |The |driver |of |a |vehicle |approaching |a |yield |sign |shall |in |obedience |to |such |sign |slow |down |to |a
|speed |reasonable |for |the |existing |conditions |and, |if |required |for |safety |to |stop, |shall |stop |at |a |clearly
|marked |stop |line |but, |if |none, |before |entering |the |cross-walk |on |the |near |side |of |the |intersection |or,
|if |none, |then |at |the |point |nearest |the |intersecting |roadway |where |the |driver |has |a |view |of
|approaching |traffic |on |the |intersecting |road |before |entering |it. |After |slowing |or |stopping, |the |driver
|shall |yield |the |right-of-way |to |any |vehicle |in |the |intersection |or |approaching |on |another |roadway |so
|closely |as |to |constitute |an |immediate |hazard |during |the |time |the |driver |is |moving |across |or |within
|the |intersection |or |junction |of |roadways. |If |such |driver |is |involved |in |a |collision |with |a |vehicle |in |the
|intersection |or |junction |of |roadways, |after |driving |past |a |yield |sign |without |stopping, |the |collision
|shall |be |deemed |prima |facie |evidence |of |his |failure |to |yield |right-of-way.

|approaching |on |the |roadway |to |be |entered |or |crossed.
56-5-2360, |Approach |of |Emergency |Vehicles |- |✔◻✔◻Upon |approach |of |an |authorized |emergency
|vehicle, |every |other |vehicle |shall |yield |the |right |of |way |and |drive |to |a |position |parallel |to |and |as |close

|within |any |highway |traffic |construction |or |maintenance |area |indicated |by |official |traffic-control
|devices.
(b) |The |driver |of |a |vehicle |shall |yield |the |right-of-way |to |any |authorized |vehicle |obviously |and |actually
|engaged |in |work |upon |a |highway |whenever |such |vehicle |displays |flashing |lights |meeting |the
|requirements |of |Section |56-5-4650.
56-5-2740 |place |where |drivers |shall |stop |for |stop |signs |- |✔◻✔◻Every |driver |of |a |vehicle |approaching
|a |stop |sign |shall |stop |before |entering |the |crosswalk |on |the |near |side |of |the |intersection |or, |in |the
|event |there |is |no |crosswalk, |shall |stop |at |a |clearly |marked |stop |line |but, |if |none, |then |at |the |point
|nearest |the |intersecting |highway |where |the |driver |has |a |view |of |approaching |traffic |on |the
|intersecting |highway |before |entering |the |intersection |except |when |directed |to |proceed |by |a |police
|officer |or |traffic-control |signal.
56-5-1900 |driving |on |roadways |laned |for |traffic |- |✔◻✔◻Whenever |any |roadway |has |been |divided
|into |two |or |more |clearly |marked |lanes |for |traffic |the |following |rules |in |addition |to |all |others
|consistent |herewith |shall |apply:
(a) A |vehicle |shall |be |driven |as |nearly |as |practicable |entirely |within |a |single |lane |and |shall |not |be
|moved |from |the |lane |until |the |driver |has |first |ascertained |that |such |movement |can |be |made |with
|safety.
(b) Upon |a |roadway |which |is |divided |into |three |lanes |and |provides |for |two-way |movement |of
|traffic, |a |vehicle |shall |not |be |driven |in |the |center |lane |except |when |overtaking |and |passing |another
|vehicle |traveling |in |the |same |direction |when |the |center |lane |is |clear |of |traffic |within |a |safe |distance
|or |in |preparation |for |making |a |left |turn |or |where |the |center |lane |is |at |the |time |allocated |exclusively
|to |traffic |moving |in |the |same |direction |that |the |vehicle |is |proceeding |and |such |allocation |is
|designated |by |official |traffic-control |devices.
(c) Official |traffic-control |devices |may |be |erected |directing |specified |traffic |to |use |a |designated |lane
|or |designating |those |lanes |to |be |used |by |traffic |moving |in |a |particular |direction |regardless |of |the
|center |of |the |roadway |and |drivers |of |vehicles |shall |obey |the |directions |of |every |such |device.
