INSERT the following paragraphs:
Support:
00A An order, ordinance, rule, or regulation pertaining to the application of pavement markings in accordance with this manual is necessary for no-passing zones to be "official markings," as referred to in Section 1126(a) of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.
Standard:
06A Yellow one-way or two way no-passing zone markings, as appropriate, shall connect no-passing zones when there is insufficient length for unrestricted passing, (i.e. less than 400 feet between successive no-passing zones).
Standard:
06B A no-passing zone for traffic in a particular direction shall be at least 400 feet in length. Where the actual no-passing distance is less than 400 feet, the additional length of yellow no-passing zone markings shall be added at the beginning of the zone.
Support:
06C It is generally unnecessary to mark no-passing zones on two-lane, two-way urban highways. Speeds are generally low and, where markings are provided, the yellow broken centerline marking is usually sufficient.
Standard:
06D Where used, the minimum length of a no-passing zone on two-lane, two-way urban highways shall be 200 feet.
