Lane Use, Turning & Passing

When turning left, into which lane should you complete the turn when multiple lanes are available?

  • A.The rightmost lane, swinging wide across all lanes
  • B.The lawful lane closest to the left for your new direction, unless markings direct otherwise
  • C.Any lane, as long as you signal after turning
  • D.The oncoming lane, then merge over
Correct answer

B. The lawful lane closest to the left for your new direction, unless markings direct otherwise

Why

Complete a left turn into the leftmost lawful lane for traffic in your new direction, unless signs or markings allow a different lane. Swinging wide can conflict with drivers turning from the opposite direction.
