No vehicle shall be driven to the left side of the center of a two-lane highway or in the center lane of a three-lane highway in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless the left side or center lane is clearly visible and is free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit such overtaking and passing to be completely made without interfering with the safe operation of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction or any vehicle overtaken.
(a) No vehicle shall in overtaking and passing another vehicle or at any other time be driven to the left side of the roadway under the following conditions:
(1) When approaching the crest or a grade or upon a curve in the highway where driver’s view along the highway is obstructed.
(2) When approaching within 100 feet of any bridge, viaduct or tunnel, or when approaching within 100 feet of or traversing any intersection or railroad grade crossing.
(3) Where official signs are in place directing that traffic keep to the right, or by a distinctive yellow centerline or other markings.
(b) The foregoing limitations shall not apply upon a one-way roadway.
