What distance must an operator return to an authorized lane after passing another vehicle according to the Transportation Code?

100 feet
150 feet
200 feet
250 feet

The correct answer is: 200 feet

In Texas, the Transportation Code specifies that after passing another vehicle, an operator must return to their authorized lane at least 200 feet before reaching an intersection or approaching a vehicle that is also traveling in the same road direction. This distance is set to ensure safety by providing sufficient space for the maneuver and reducing the likelihood of collisions. Maintaining a distance of 200 feet allows drivers to re-enter the lane confidently without cutting off the vehicle they have just passed, thereby promoting safer driving practices on the roads. Understanding this requirement is crucial for drivers to adhere to Texas traffic laws effectively.
