A discrete model to simulate two–way traffic flow is introduced. The well known cellular automata Nagel-Schreckenberg model is extended by adding another road lane. New sets of state rules is developed to provide lane change maneuver for vehicle overtaking and returning to lane designated for slower traffic. Results of numeric simulations are consistent with the so-called fundamental diagram (flow vs. density), as is observed in the real free-way traffic.
