MISCELLANEOUS RULESRULES
SEC. 396.   CONTROL OF VEHICLE--SIGNALS.396.   CONTROL OF VEHICLE--SIGNALS.
The driver of a motor vehicle traveling through defiles or on approaching the crest of a hill or grade shall have such motor vehicle under control and on the right-hand side of the roadway and, upon approaching any curve where the view is obstructed within a distance of two hundred feet along the highway, shall give audible warning with the horn of such motor vehicle.
SEC. 397.   ACTS PROHIBITED ON FULLY CONTROLLED-ACCESS FACILITIES.397.   ACTS PROHIBITED ON FULLY CONTROLLED-ACCESS FACILITIES.
It is unlawful for a person, except a person operating highway maintenance equipment or an authorized emergency vehicle, to do ay of the following on a fully controlled-access facility:
   1.   Drive a vehicle over, upon, or across a curb, central dividing section, or other separation or dividing line.
   2.   Make a left turn or a semicircular or U-turn at a maintenance cross-over where an official sign prohibits the turn.
   3.   Drive a vehicle except in the proper lane provided for that purpose and in the proper direction and to the right of the central dividing curb, separation, section, or line.
   4.   Drive a vehicle into the facility from a local service road.
   5.   Stop, park, or leave standing a vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the paved portion.
   6.   Stop, park, or leave standing a vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the shoulders, or the right of way except at designated rest areas or in case of an emergency or other dire necessity.
For the purpose of this section, fully controlled-access facility is a highway which gives preference to through traffic by providing access connections at interchanges with selected public roads only and by prohibiting crossings at grade or direct access at driveway connections. The scheduled fine is $100.00. ('91 Rev.; '95 Rev.; ’00 Rev.) [Ref. Iowa Code §321.366]
SEC. 398.   FUNERAL PROCESSIONS.398.   FUNERAL PROCESSIONS.
   1.   For purposes of this section, "funeral procession" means a procession of motor vehicles accompanying the body of a deceased person during daylight hours which is being escorted by a vehicle continually displaying its emergency signal lamps flashing simultaneously and using lighted head lamps and identifying flags, or an escort vehicle displaying a flashing or revolving red and amber light visible to pedestrians in all directions, and keeping all other motor vehicles with lighted head lamps in close formation.
   2.   Upon the immediate approach of a funeral procession, the driver of every other vehicle, except an authorized emergency vehicle, shall yield the right-of-way. An operator of a motor vehicle which is part of a funeral procession shall not be charged with violating traffic rules and regulations relating to traffic signals and devices while participating in the procession unless the operation is reckless.
   3.   The funeral establishment in charge of the funeral procession is liable only in connection with the procession for any negligent, reckless, or intentional act by the funeral establishment or any employee or agent of the funeral establishment that results in any death, personal injury or property damage suffered during a funeral procession.
('91 Rev.; '95 Rev.; ’07 Rev.) [Ref. Iowa Code §321.324A]
