Question

Difficulty: MediumTurning Procedures and Signaling

A driver traveling on a multi-lane roadway is approaching an intersection and intends to execute a right turn onto another multi-lane street. Which of the following procedures must the driver follow to complete this turn legally and safely?

  1. Activate the right turn signal continuously for at least 100 feet prior to the intersection and complete the turn into the lane closest to the right-hand curb.Answer
  2. B
    Wait to activate the turn signal until approximately 20 feet before reaching the turn to avoid confusing drivers exiting nearby driveways.
  3. C
    Yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic making an unprotected left turn into the same roadway when facing a circular solid green light.
  4. D
    Veer left across a solid yellow center line prior to the intersection to widen the vehicle's turning arc for safety.

Answer

The driver must activate the turn signal continuously for at least 100 feet before turning and complete the maneuver into the rightmost lane nearest the curb.
The correct response identifies the standard rule requiring drivers to signal continuously for at least 100 feet prior to a turn and to complete right turns into the lane closest to the right-hand curb.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the required signaling distance before executing a turn.
Driver identifies that the turn signal must be activated continuously for at least 100 feet prior to reaching the intersection.
Proper advance signaling alerts trailing and oncoming road users of the vehicle's intent to decelerate and change direction.
2
Determine legal lane positioning during and after a right turn.
Driver enters the turn from the rightmost lane and completes it into the lane closest to the right curb.
Traffic safety rules specify keeping turns tight to prevent side-swipe conflicts with traffic in adjacent lanes.
