Oklahoma Criminal Law
(a) No vehicle shall be driven on the left side of the roadway under the following conditions:
- When approaching or upon the crest of a grade or a curve in the highway where the driver's view is obstructed within such distance as to create a hazard in the event another vehicle might approach from the opposite direction;
- When approaching within one hundred (100) feet of or traversing any intersection or railroad grade crossing unless otherwise indicated by official traffic control devices;
- When the view is obstructed upon approaching within one hundred (100) feet of any bridge, viaduct or tunnel.
(b) The foregoing limitations shall not apply upon a one-way roadway; nor under the conditions described in Section 47-11-301, subsection (a), paragraph 2 of this title, nor to the driver of a vehicle turning left into or from an alley, private road or driveway.
Whenever any highway has been divided into two or more roadways by leaving an intervening space or by a physical barrier or clearly indicated dividing section so constructed as to impede vehicular traffic, every vehicle shall be driven only upon the right-hand roadway unless directed or permitted to use another roadway by official traffic control devices or peace officers. No vehicle shall be driven over, across or within any such dividing space, barrier or section, except through a permanent opening in the dividing space, barrier or section or at a permanent cross-over or intersection as established unless specifically prohibited by public authority. No vehicle shall be driven over, across or within any temporary opening in a dividing space, barrier or section or at a temporary cross-over or intersection unless specifically authorized by a public authority or at the direction of a peace officer.
