Hazardous zones, commonly called “no passing zones,” shall consist of an auxiliary yellow line marked on the roadway pavement and placed parallel to the normal centerline or marked lane line. When the auxiliary yellow line appears on the left side of the driver's lane of travel (to the right of the normal centerline or marked lane line), no driver shall drive across the auxiliary yellow line to overtake and pass another vehicle proceeding in the same direction. When auxiliary yellow lines appear on both sides of the normal centerline or marked lane line, drivers proceeding in either direction shall not drive across such auxiliary yellow lines to overtake and pass another vehicle proceeding in the same direction. No driver shall, at any other time, drive across the yellow auxiliary line when it appears in the driver's lane of travel, except to make a lawfully permitted left-hand turn under the rules governing such movement. “No Passing” signs may also be erected facing traffic to indicate the beginning and end of each “no passing” zone.
When appropriate signs or markings indicating hazardous or “no passing” zones are in place and clearly visible, every operator of a vehicle shall obey the directions thereof, notwithstanding the distance set out in Section 432.06. (ORC 4511.31)
