Limitations. The operator of a vehicle shall not drive to the left side of the center line of a highway 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 made in safety.

Upon a street with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two (2) or more lines of vehicles in each direction;
