Question

Difficulty: MediumTurning Procedures and Signaling

A driver is positioned in the left-most lane of a street featuring two designated left-turn lanes. When the signal turns green and the driver completes the turn onto a three-lane street, which lane must the driver legally enter?

  1. The far-left lane that directly corresponds to the driver's starting laneAnswer
  2. B
    Any available lane on the destination street as long as turn signals remain active
  3. C
    The far-right lane of the destination street to allow faster vehicles to pass on the left
  4. D
    The center lane of the destination street to establish a safe buffer on both sides

Answer

The driver must complete the turn into the far-left lane that directly corresponds to their starting position.
When executing a turn from an intersection with multiple turning lanes, drivers must complete the maneuver into the lane that corresponds to the lane from which they started. A driver in the left-most turn lane must turn directly into the left-most destination lane.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the initial positioning and lane designation.
The driver is in the left-most lane of a double left-turn configuration.
Traffic laws require drivers in multiple turn lanes to maintain lane discipline throughout the entire maneuver.
2
Determine the proper completion lane on the destination roadway.
The turn must end in the lane corresponding directly to the entry lane (the far-left lane).
Drivers turning alongside other vehicles must not cross lane boundaries or drift into neighboring lanes mid-turn.
