NEW JERSEY FAILING TO MAINTAIN LANE STATUTE

N.J.S.A. 39:4-88 (Traffic on marked lanes) provides:

When a roadway has been divided into clearly marked lanes
for traffic, drivers of vehicles shall obey the following regulations:

a. A vehicle shall normally be driven in the lane nearest
the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway when that lane is available for
travel, except when overtaking another vehicle or in preparation for a left
turn.

b. A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable
entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from that lane until the
driver has first ascertained that the movement can be made with safety.

c. Upon a highway which is divided into 3 lanes, a
vehicle shall not be driven in the center lane except when overtaking or
passing another vehicle or in preparation for a left turn or unless the center
lane is at the time allocated for traffic moving in the direction the vehicle
is proceeding and is signposted to give notice of that allocation.

d. The State Highway Commissioner may by regulation or
local authorities may by resolution or ordinance with respect to highways under
their jurisdiction designate right-hand lanes for slow moving traffic and
inside lanes for traffic moving at the speed designated for the district as
provided under this chapter, and when the lanes are signposted or marked to
give notice of the designation a vehicle may be driven in any lane allocated to
traffic moving in the direction in which it is proceeding, but when traveling
within the inside lanes the vehicle shall be driven at approximately the speed
authorized in such lanes and speed shall not be decreased unnecessarily so as
to block, hinder or retard traffic.

e. When such roadway had been divided in such a manner
that there are 3 or more lanes for traffic in any one direction, no truck of
10,000 pounds registered gross weight or over shall be driven in the farthest
left-hand lane, except when and to the extent necessary to prepare for a left
turn, or when necessary to enter or leave such roadway by entrance or exit to
or from the left lane or when reasonably necessary in response to emergency
conditions.
