You are driving along a multi-lane one-way street and intend to turn right at the junction ahead. Unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise, where should you position your vehicle?
- AIn the left-hand lane, crossing over to the right just before making the turn
- In the right-hand lane in good time before reaching the junctionAnswer
- CIn the left-hand lane at all times until turning, in accordance with the general keep-left rule
- DIn the central lane, sweeping out towards the left to create a wider turning circle
Answer
Position your vehicle in the right-hand lane in good time before reaching the junction.
According to The Highway Code (Rule 143), traffic on a one-way street may use the full width of the road. When intending to turn right, drivers should choose the correct lane in good time and position their vehicle in the right-hand lane, unless signs or road markings direct otherwise. This ensures predictable lane discipline and allows straight-ahead or left-turning traffic to pass safely on the left.
