Under what conditions may you pass on the right?

• A. You may pass on the right at any time there is space.
• B. You may pass on the right in two-lane roads.
• C. You may pass on the right only when there are at least two or more lanes traveling in the same direction or the vehicle in front is turning left and you have a clear lane to the right.
• D. You may pass on the right in all one-lane roads.

Answer: (C)

Passing on the right is allowed in New Hampshire only when there are two or more lanes traveling in the same direction, giving you a legitimate lane to the right to pass, or when the vehicle in front is turning left and you have a clear lane to the right. This keeps passing safe by ensuring there’s a dedicated space to move into and by preventing unsafe maneuvers on narrow or single-lane roads. Space alone isn’t enough to justify passing on the right, and a road with only two lanes in total (one in each direction) typically doesn’t provide a legal right-side passing lane. Likewise, on all one-lane roads there isn’t room to pass on the right.
