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 roadways or lanes for one-way traffic, ensuring that vehicles adhere to the designated direction as indicated by official traffic-control devices. Additionally, it stipulates that vehicles must pass to the right of rotary traffic islands.
A significant change in the bill is the removal of the requirement for vehicles to give a signal of intention to exit a rotary traffic island. The previous language stated that a vehicle could not exit from any position within the rotary without first signaling their intention to do so. This amendment simplifies the rules regarding exiting rotary traffic islands, allowing for a more fluid flow of traffic.
