(2) Join a funeral procession to secure the right-of-way as granted by this chapter. (3) Pass a funeral procession on a multiple lane highway on the funeral procession’s right side unless the funeral procession is in the farthest left lane.

while the funeral procession is within the intersection, the operator of the vehicle facing a green signal may proceed subject to the right-of-way of a vehicle participating in a funeral procession. (5) Any person who willfully violates this section shall be guilty of a civil violation. History of Section.P.L. 2008, ch. 396, § 2; P.L. 2010, ch. 239, § 34.
