HB 737 Vehicle Laws Slow Moving Vehicles Right Hand Lane

Summary of House Bill 737:

This bill aims to change the laws regarding slow-moving vehicles on Maryland roadways. It repeals a provision that limited the requirement for slow-moving vehicles to only certain highways in specific areas. The State Highway Administration will now be responsible for informing drivers of the requirement to drive in the right-hand lane if they are going significantly slower than the speed limit or the flow of traffic. This change applies to all roads, except when passing another vehicle or preparing for a left turn.
