indicate such zones. When such devices are in place and clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person,
every driver of a vehicle shall obey the directions thereof. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4, a driver shall not drive on
the left side of the highway within such zone or drive across or on the left side
of any pavement striping designed to mark such zone throughout its length. 3. A driver may drive across a pavement striping marking such zone to an adjoining
highway if the driver has first given the appropriate turn signal and there will be
no impediment to oncoming or following traffic. 4. Except where otherwise provided, a driver may drive across a pavement striping
marking such a zone to make a left-hand turn if the driver has first given the appropriate
turn signal in compliance with NRS 484B.413 , if it is safe and if it would not be an impediment to oncoming or following traffic. 5. A person who violates any provision of this section may be subject to any additional
penalty set forth in NRS 484B.130 or 484B.135 .
