60-6,135.  Limitations on overtaking and passing on the left; precautions required; return to right side of highway.(1) No vehicle shall overtake another vehicle proceeding in the same direction on an undivided two-way roadway when such overtaking requires the overtaking vehicle to be driven on the left side of the center of the roadway unless the left side is clearly visible for a distance sufficient to accomplish such overtaking and is free from oncoming traffic for a distance sufficient to:(a) Permit the overtaking vehicle to return to an authorized lane of traffic before coming within two hundred feet of any approaching vehicle; and(b) Permit the overtaking vehicle to be safely clear of the overtaken vehicle while returning to the authorized lane of travel as provided in the Nebraska Rules of the Road.(2) After completing such overtaking, the overtaking vehicle shall return to the authorized lane of travel as soon as practicable.(3) Any such overtaking shall be subject to the rules.(4) The provisions of this section shall not permit the crossing of the centerline of an undivided highway providing for two or more lanes of traffic in each direction for the purpose of overtaking and passing another vehicle.Source   Laws 1973, LB 45, § 24;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-624;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 231.

When such signs or markings are in place and clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person, every driver of a vehicle shall obey such indications.(2) Where signs or markings are in place to define a no-passing zone, no driver shall at any time drive on the left side of the roadway within such no-passing zone or on the left side of any pavement striping designed to mark such no-passing zone throughout its length.(3) This section shall not apply (a) under the conditions described in subdivision (1)(b) of section 60-6,131 or (b) to the driver of a vehicle turning left into or from an alley, private road, or driveway unless otherwise prohibited by signs.Source   Laws 1973, LB 45, § 26;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-626;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 233;  Laws 2017, LB339, § 198.

60-6,139.  Driving on roadways laned for traffic; rules; traffic control devices.Whenever any roadway has been divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic, the following rules, in addition to all others consistent with this section, shall apply:(1) A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable within a single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety;(2) Upon a roadway which is divided into three lanes and provides for two-way movement of traffic, a vehicle shall not be driven in the center lane except (a) when overtaking and passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction when such center lane is clear of traffic within a safe distance, (b) in preparation for making a left turn, or (c) when such center lane is at the time allocated exclusively to traffic moving in the same direction that the vehicle is proceeding and such allocation is designated by traffic control devices;(3) Traffic control devices may be erected by the Department of Transportation or local authorities to direct specified traffic to use a designated lane or to designate those lanes to be used by traffic moving in a particular direction regardless of the center of the roadway and drivers of vehicles shall obey the directions of every such device; and(4) Traffic control devices may be installed by the department or local authorities to prohibit the changing of lanes on sections of roadway and drivers of vehicles shall obey the directions of every such device.Source   Laws 1973, LB 45, § 28;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-628;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 235;  Laws 2017, LB339, § 200.  Annotations  By including the language “as nearly as practicable,” subdivision (1) of this section expressly requires that surrounding circumstances be considered. State v. Au, 285 Neb. 797, 829 N.W.2d 695 (2013). The language “as nearly as practicable” conveys that subdivision (1) of this section does not require absolute adherence to a feasibility requirement, but, rather, something less rigorous. State v. Au, 285 Neb. 797, 829 N.W.2d 695 (2013). The mere touching or crossing of a lane divider line, without more, does not constitute a traffic violation under this section. State v. Au, 285 Neb. 797, 829 N.W.2d 695 (2013).

Annotations A state trooper had probable cause to stop a vehicle, in which the defendant was a passenger, for following too closely, despite the trooper's statement that he had a hunch the passengers could be involved in transporting contraband. The trooper testified that he observed the vehicle following one car length behind a semi-truck while both vehicles were traveling over 70 miles per hour in the rain; thus, the trooper's alleged ulterior motivation for the stop was irrelevant.

60-6,146.  Vehicles approaching or entering intersection at same time; right-of-way; entering a highway or roadway.(1) When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection from different roadways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, a vehicle entering a highway from an acceleration lane, a ramp, or any other approach road shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle on the main roadway entering such merging area at the same time, regardless of whether the approach road is to the left or the right of the main roadway, unless posted signs indicate otherwise.(3) The driver of a vehicle about to enter or cross a paved roadway from an unpaved roadway and who is not subject to control by a traffic control device shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on such paved roadway.(4) The right-of-way rules set forth in subsections (1) and (3) of this section are modified at through highways and otherwise as stated in the Nebraska Rules of the Road.Source   Laws 1973, LB 45, § 35;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-635;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 242.  Annotations  At four-way stop signs, no driver has a preferred or favored status, and all have a duty to stop followed by a duty to use ordinary care as they proceed through the intersection. Salazar v. Nemec, 253 Neb. 298, 570 N.W.2d 366 (1997). Under subsection (1) of this section, when a collision occurs in an ordinary city or country intersection, unless there is evidence that one of the vehicles was traveling at a very much greater rate of speed than the other, it is self-evident that the vehicles were reaching the intersection at approximately the same time. Workman v. Stehlik, 238 Neb. 666, 471 N.W.2d 760 (1991). When two vehicles approach an intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the immediate use of the intersection. Muirhead v. Gunst, 204 Neb. 1, 281 N.W.2d 207 (1979). Vehicle on the right has the favored position but does not have an absolute right to proceed regardless of the circumstances. Crink v. Northern Nat. Gas Co., 200 Neb. 460, 263 N.W.2d 857 (1978). Intersection right-of-way is a qualified, not absolute, right to proceed, exercising due care, in a lawful manner in preference to an opposing vehicle.

NE Code § 60-6,147 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 60 - Motor Vehicles|60-6,147 - Vehicle turning left; yield right-of-way.

60-6,147.  Vehicle turning left; yield right-of-way.The driver of a vehicle who intends to turn to the left within an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or approaching so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.Source   Laws 1973, LB 45, § 36;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-636;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 243.  Annotations  In an intersection collision involving a vehicle turning left with a green light and a vehicle subsequently entering the intersection with a green light from the opposite direction, the determination of which vehicle was required to yield to the other pursuant to this section was a question of fact for the jury. Nguyen v. Rezac, 256 Neb. 458, 590 N.W.2d 375 (1999). A driver is charged with exercising due diligence to determine whether it is safe to turn left on a roadway. Mitchell v. Kesting, 221 Neb. 506, 378 N.W.2d 188 (1985). The degree of care required by this section was increased by the fact that the sun restricted the visibility of the left-turning driver. Ambrosio v. Price, 495 F.Supp. 381 (D. Neb. 1979).
