A.R.S. § 28-724: Overtaking on the Right
Overtaking on the right
Is it illegal to pass on the right in Arizona?
In Arizona, a driver may pass on the right when the vehicle ahead is turning left, or on a two-way street or highway with unobstructed pavement free of parked cars and wide enough for two or more lines of traffic in each direction, or on a one-way roadway free from obstructions and wide enough for two or more lines of moving traffic. Any such pass must still be made in safety, and never by driving off the pavement or the main traveled portion of the roadway.
