HB1635

House Bill 1635 amends Arkansas Code § 27-51-307(b) to clarify traffic laws regarding overtaking and passing other vehicles. The bill introduces a new restriction prohibiting a driver from driving on the left side of the roadway to pass another vehicle if the vehicle being passed has signaled its intention to make a left turn. This amendment aligns state law with standard traffic safety practices by explicitly forbidding passing maneuvers in situations where a lead vehicle has signaled for a turn. The primary purpose is to enhance road safety by reducing potential collisions during intersection or turn maneuvers.
