The bill amends section 39-10-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the regulations governing one-way roadways and rotary traffic islands. It grants the director and local authorities the authority to designate specific highways or lanes for one-way traffic, ensuring that vehicles adhere to the designated direction as indicated by official traffic-control devices.
A significant change in the bill is the modification of the rules regarding exiting a rotary traffic island. The current law states that a vehicle may
not exit from any position within the rotary traffic island without
first giving a signal of intention to exit. The amendment removes the prohibition on exiting from any position, thereby allowing for more flexibility in how vehicles can leave the rotary traffic island, while still requiring a signal of intention to exit.
