(a) Upon all highways or streets of sufficient width a vehicle shall be driven upon the left half of the highway or street, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, or when an obstruction exists making it necessary to drive to the right of the center of the highway or street, or when driving on a one-way street. No motor vehicle shall overtake and pass another motor vehicle on a curve, at the intersection of another road, or when approaching the top of a hill. No motor vehicle shall overtake and pass another vehicle in violation of traffic control signals, road stripings or markings. If there are no signals, road stripings or markings, no motor vehicle shall overtake and pass another unless the road ahead is clear of other vehicles, pedestrians or other obstructions for a distance of not less than 200 feet. The driver of a vehicle overtaking and passing another vehicle shall do so on the right side at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the left side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle.
(b) Before entering or crossing main roads beyond the town limits, every driver shall bring his motor vehicle to a full stop, change to low gear, sound the warning device, and then proceed with due caution. Traffic on main streets or main roads shall have the right of way. When approaching any cross road or curve, every driver shall exercise due caution, sound the warning device, and reduce the speed of the motor vehicle.
(c) On turning to the left into another road, the driver of a motor vehicle shall keep as close to the left as safety permits; on turning to the right into another road, he shall pass, when possible, to the left of the center point of intersection of the roads before the turning.
(d) Every driver of a motor vehicle shall indicate his intention of starting, stopping, turning, or backing by signals prescribed by the Police Commissioner.
(e) In St. Croix, the streets running east and west in Christiansted, and those running north and south in Frederiksted; and the Centerline road, and the North and Southside roads, are the main streets and the main roads for the purpose of this section.
(f) Upon any highway or street having four or more lanes for moving traffic and providing for two-way movement of traffic, no vehicle shall be driven to the right of the center line of the highway or street, except when authorized by official traffic-control devices designating certain lanes to the right side of the center of the highway or street for use by traffic not otherwise permitted to use such lanes; provided, however, that this subsection shall not be construed as prohibiting the crossing of the center line in making a right turn into or from an alley, private road or driveway.
(g) Whenever any highway or street has been divided into two or more roadways by an intervening space or physical barrier, every vehicle shall be driven only upon the left-hand roadway, unless directed or permitted to use another roadway by official traffic-control devices or police officers. No vehicle shall be driven over, across or within any such dividing space or barrier, except through a crossover or intersection established by the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department (V.I.P.D.).
(h)
(1) The operator of any vehicle or motor vehicle shall bring his vehicle to a stop not less than ten feet from the front when approaching and not less than ten feet from the rear when overtaking or following any bus displaying flashing signal lights, except at the specific direction of a traffic officer. Vehicles so stopped for a bus shall not proceed until the bus no longer displays flashing signal lights. At the intersection of two or more roadways, vehicles are prohibited from turning in the direction of a bus receiving or discharging passengers. The operator of a vehicle upon a highway with separate roadways need not stop upon meeting or passing a bus which is on a different roadway.
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the word “bus” means any school bus or bus clearly marked “Senior Citizens” or “Disabled Persons” which has signal lights appropriately placed for signaling a stop by flashing.
