  1. The rightmost lane nearest to the right curb or edge of the roadwayAnswer
  2. B
    Any available open lane, provided the driver signals the turn continuously for 50 feet
  3. C
    The far-left lane to allow faster-moving trailing traffic to pass on the right
  4. D
    The center lane, after crossing over solid yellow pavement markings to clear the intersection quickly

Answer

When making a right-hand turn onto a roadway with multiple lanes, the driver must complete the turn in the rightmost lane nearest to the right curb or edge of the roadway.
Standard traffic regulations mandate that when turning right, the driver must keep the vehicle as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway both when approaching the intersection and completing the turn.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the type of turn being executed
The driver is executing a right-hand turn onto a multi-lane roadway.
Traffic laws govern lane position entry based on whether the turn is to the left or right.
2
Apply statutory lane positioning requirements for right turns
The turn must begin from the rightmost lane and end in the rightmost lane available.
Entering the closest legal lane minimizes traffic path intersection and reduces conflict with oncoming or passing vehicles.
