A person operating an all-terrain vehicle on a street or highway pursuant to an exception covered in this Section shall have a valid license to operate a vehicle, but shall not be required to have passed an examination for the operation of a motorcycle, and the vehicle shall be operated at speeds of less than thirty (30) miles per hour. When operated on a street or highway, an all-terrain vehicle shall have a bicycle safety flag, which extends not less than seven (7) feet above the ground, attached to the rear of the vehicle. The bicycle safety flag shall be triangular in shape with an area of not less than thirty (30) square inches and shall be dayglow in color.
Every person operating a motor vehicle on the streets of the City shall drive the vehicle in a careful and prudent manner and at a rate of speed so as not to endanger the property of another or the life or limb of any person and shall exercise the highest degree of care.
Every person operating or driving a vehicle upon the streets of the City shall observe and comply with the rules of the road set out in this Title.
All vehicles not in motion shall be placed with their right side as near the right-hand side of the street as practicable, except on streets where vehicles are obliged to move in one (1) direction only or where parking of motor vehicles is regulated by ordinance.

In no event shall such movement be made by driving off the paved or main traveled portion of the roadway.
Except when a roadway has been divided into three (3) traffic lanes, no vehicle shall be driven to the left side of the centerline of a street or public road in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless such left side 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.

The penalty authorized by Subsection (B) of this Section shall only be assessed by the court if the Department of Transportation, City worker or a contractor or subcontractor performing work for the Department of Transportation or City of Union has erected signs upon or around a construction zone or work zone which are clearly visible from the highway and which state substantially the following message: "Warning: Minimum $250 fine for speeding or passing in this work zone when workers are present".

This Subsection also prohibits the operator of a motor vehicle from passing or attempting to pass another motor vehicle in a work zone or construction zone located upon a two-lane highway when highway workers or equipment are working and when appropriate signs or traffic control devices have been erected by the Department of Transportation, City workers or a contractor or subcontractor performing work for the Department of Transportation or the City of Union.
