to be completed without impeding the safe operation of any vehicle
ahead.
The driver of a vehicle when about to be overtaken
and passed by another vehicle approaching from the rear shall give
way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle on suitable and
audible signal being given by the driver of the overtaking vehicle,
and shall not increase the speed of his vehicle until completely passed
by the overtaking vehicle.
The driver of a vehicle shall not follow another
vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard
to the speed of such vehicle and the traffic upon and condition of
the street or highway.
The operator of a vehicle emerging from an alley,
driveway or a garage shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to
driving on to a sidewalk or on to the sidewalk area extending across
an alleyway or driveway.
Upon such roadways as are divided by a parkway,
grass plot, reservation, viaduct, subway, or by any structure or area,
drivers shall keep to the right of such a division except when otherwise
directed by an officer, signs, signals, or markings.
At any junction or crossing of ways where the
roadway grades have been separated and where the ways are connected
by ramps and at any intersection of ways in which there are traffic
islands, drivers of vehicles shall proceed only as indicated by official
signs, signals or markings.
