(a) Except where route direction signs indicate otherwise, all commercial vehicles of the tractor-trailer type shall remain in the right-hand lane of all streets and highways within the City, except when such lane is obstructed, and no operator of any such commercial vehicle shall pass another vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
(b) For the purpose of this subsection (b), the word "truck" means every motor vehicle designed and used to carry property wherein the overall length of such vehicle, including a trailer, if any, is in excess of twenty feet, or any truck-tractor.
The operator of a truck shall not follow another truck more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicle and the traffic upon and condition of the street or highway. Except when the truck ahead is stopped by a traffic control device or by a police officer, it shall be prima-facie unlawful for any operator of a truck to operate the same so that there is less than 300 feet between it and any truck ahead.
