Funny, here in NC not one of those three is in the traffic law either.
I personally would like a 3-foot minimum clarification and a right-hand signal option added to NC law.
As for the stay-right rule, here in NC it reads as follows:
§ 20-146. Drive on right side of highway; exceptions.
(b) Upon all highways any vehicle proceeding at less than the
legal maximum speed limit shall be driven in the right-hand lane
then available for thru traffic, or as close as practicable to
the right-hand curb or edge of the highway, except when
overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same
direction or when preparing for a left turn.
The "or" is interpreted by many cyclists as limiting the "as close as practicable" language to those situations with more than one marked lane.
