Normas para conducir en carriles marcados en Colorado

Explicación Simple

Cuando manejas en una carretera con varios carriles, debes quedarte en uno solo hasta que estés seguro de cambiarte. No puedes usar el carril del medio a menos que estés adelantando a otro auto o vayas a girar a la izquierda.

Es como si estuvieras en una pista de baile con amigos. Cada uno tiene su espacio y si quieres moverte, primero miras a tu alrededor para no chocar con nadie.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está conduciendo por una carretera con tres carriles. Cuando ve a otro auto lento adelante, decide cambiarse al carril del medio para adelantar, asegurándose de que no haya otros autos cerca. Después de pasar, vuelve al carril derecho para seguir su camino.

C.R.S. 42-4-1007 – Driving on roadways laned for traffic (1) 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: (a) A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely 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. (b) 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 when overtaking and passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction where the roadway is clearly visible and such center lane is clear of traffic within a safe distance, or in preparation for a left turn, or where such center lane is at the time allocated exclusively to the traffic moving in the direction the vehicle is proceeding and is designated by official traffic control devices to give notice of such allocation. Under no condition shall an attempt be made to pass upon the shoulder or any portion of the roadway remaining to the right of the indicated right-hand traffic lane. (c) Official traffic control devices may be erected directing specified traffic to use a designated lane or designating 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.
