California Streets and Highways Code Statutory History
California Streets and Highways Code Statutory History
Streets and Highways Code: In 1872, eight former Political Code statutes addressed the “laws of the highway,” “driver addicted to intoxication,” and “liability of owners for damages done by drivers.” In one example, former § 2931 provided, in part, that when vehicles meet, “the drivers of each must turn seasonably to the right of the center of the highway, so as to pass without interference, under a penalty of twenty-five dollars for every neglect, to be recovered by the party injured.” By the time that the Code was enacted in 1935, the few statutes in the former Political Code were, by necessity, greatly expanded to address California’s prolific traffic laws.
