When are cars allowed to pass another vehicle on the right in Ohio?

In Ohio, passing another vehicle on the right is permissible primarily in two situations: when the vehicle being passed is making a left turn and when there are multiple lanes available in the same direction. This rule is designed to enhance safety on the roads. When a vehicle is signaling a left turn, it creates an opportunity for other vehicles to safely maneuver around it on the right side, provided that such movement does not involve crossing over into lanes intended for opposing traffic.

Having multiple lanes going in the same direction also allows for passing on the right as long as it is safe and does not interfere with other vehicles. This regulation is particularly important for maintaining efficient traffic flow, especially in urban settings where congestion is common.

The other scenarios described, such as passing when traffic is moving slowly or asserting that it is never allowed, do not encompass the legal provisions for safely passing on the right. Passing on the right has specific conditions that must be met to ensure the safety of all road users.
