Dover Police, Is it legal to pass on the right in the intersection of Centre st and Walpole street if a car ahead of you is stopped to make a left hand turn? I've watched many close calls at the intersection and always wondered if it creates a problem for anyone else. People should be cautious when doing so because they can't see through the car that they're passing.

Mass General Laws Chapter 89 Section 2 states, "The driver of a vehicle may, if the roadway is free from obstruction and of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles, overtake and pass upon the right of another vehicle when the vehicle overtaken is (a) making or about to make a left turn, (b) upon a one-way street, or (c) upon any roadway on which traffic is restricted to one direction of movement."

Vehicles should always use caution when entering an intersection, and vehicles turning should yield the right of way to oncoming traffic.

Recommendations or comments on traffic patterns should be directed towards the Superintendent of Streets at the Dover Highway Department.

Thank you DPA.
