Passing on the right

Passing on the right is against the law except in areas where it is specifically permitted. Passing on the right places your vehicle on the blind side of the vehicle you are passing. The vehicle you are passing could unexpectedly make a right turn or pull over to the right side of the road.

Exceptions where passing on the right is allowed

✅ On highways having at least two lanes traveling in each direction;

✅ On one-way streets where all lanes of traffic move in the same direction;

✅ When passing a vehicle that is in the left-turn lane; and/or

✅ When driving in a lane set aside for right turns.

✅ On three-lane highways, you must not pass except in the center lane, and then only where the center lane is marked for passing in your direction.
