§ 26-5. No passing zones.

(a)

The director of public works is hereby authorized to determine those portions of any parish road where overtaking and passing or driving to the left of the roadway would be especially hazardous, and shall by appropriate signs and/or markings on the roadway, indicate the beginning and end of such zones, and when such signs and markings are in place and are clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person, every driver shall obey the directions thereof.

(b)

Where signs or markings are in place to define a "no-passing" zone as set forth in subsection (a) of this section, no driver shall at any time drive on the left side of any roadway within such zone, or on the left side of a pavement striping, designated to mark such "no-passing" zone, throughout its length.
