356          (A) shall give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle; and
357          (B) may not increase the speed of the vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking
358     vehicle.
359          (b) The exemption from the minimum speed regulations for a vehicle operating on a
360     grade under Section 41-6a-605 does not exempt the vehicle from promptly passing a vehicle as
361     required under Subsection (1)(a)(i)(A).
362          (2) On a highway having more than one lane in the same direction, the operator of a
363     vehicle traveling in the left general purpose lane:
364          (a) shall, upon being overtaken by another vehicle in the same lane, yield to the
365     overtaking vehicle by moving safely to a lane to the right; and
366          (b) may not impede the movement or free flow of traffic in the left general purpose
367     lane.
368          (3) An operator of a vehicle traveling in the left general purpose lane that has a vehicle
369     following directly behind the operator's vehicle at a distance so that less than two seconds
370     elapse before reaching the location of the operator's vehicle when space is available for the
371     operator to yield to the overtaking vehicle by traveling in the right-hand lane is prima facie
372     evidence that the operator is violating Subsection (2).
373          (4) The provisions of Subsection (2) do not apply to an operator of a vehicle traveling
374     in the left general purpose lane when:
375          (a) overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction in
376     accordance with Subsection (1)(a)(i);
377          (b) preparing to turn left or taking a different highway or an exit on the left;
378          (c) responding to emergency conditions;
379          (d) avoiding actual or potential traffic moving onto the highway from an acceleration
380     or merging lane; or
381          (e) following the direction of a traffic-control device that directs the use of a designated
382     lane.
383          (5) An individual may engage in lane filtering only when the following conditions
384     exist:
385          (a) the individual is operating a motorcycle;
386          (b) the individual is on a roadway divided into two or more adjacent traffic lanes in the
387     same direction of travel;
388          (c) the individual is on a roadway with a speed limit of Ŝ→ [50] 45 ←Ŝ miles per hour or
388a     less;
389          (d) the vehicle being overtaken in the same lane is stopped;

391          (f) the movement may be made safely.

398          (1) (a) [A] Except as provided in Subsection (1)(c), a person operating a vehicle:
399          (i) shall keep the vehicle as nearly as practical entirely within a single lane; and
400          (ii) may not move the vehicle from the lane until the operator has reasonably
401     determined the movement can be made safely.
402          (b) A determination under Subsection (1)(a)(ii) is reasonable if a reasonable person
403     acting under the same conditions and having regard for actual and potential hazards then
404     existing would determine that the movement could be made safely.
405          (c) Subsection (1)(a) does not apply to an individual operating a motorcycle engaging

407          (2) (a) On a roadway divided into three or more lanes and providing for two-way
408     movement of traffic, a person operating a vehicle may not drive in the center lane except:
409          (i) when overtaking and passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction, and
410     when the center lane is:
411          (A) clear of traffic within a safe distance; and
412          (B) not a two-way left turn lane;
413          (ii) in preparation of making or completing a left turn in compliance with Section

417          (b) Notwithstanding Subsection (2)(a)(i) and in accordance with Subsection (1)(a), a
418     person operating a vehicle may drive in a center lane that is a two-way left turn lane if:
419          (i) the center lane is:
420          (A) on a roadway divided into three or more lanes that provides for two-way
421     movement of traffic; and
422          (B) clear of traffic within a safe distance;
423          (ii) there is only one lane of travel in the direction the person operating the vehicle is
424     traveling; and
425          (iii) the person operating the vehicle is overtaking and passing a bicycle or moped that
426     is moving at less than the reasonable speed of traffic that is present.
427          (3) (a) A highway authority may erect traffic-control devices directing specified traffic
428     to use a designated lane or designating those lanes to be used by traffic moving in a particular
429     direction regardless of the center of the roadway.
430          (b) An operator of a vehicle shall obey the directions of a traffic-control device erected
