You are traveling along a two-lane roadway and intend to turn left into a private residential driveway. A single solid yellow line is marked on your side of the centerline, and other vehicles are following closely behind you. Which of the following statements correctly describes the legal procedure and requirements for executing this left turn?
- Activate your turn signal continuously for at least 100 feet before the turn, yield the right-of-way to all oncoming traffic, and complete the left turn across the solid yellow line when clear.Cevap
- BContinue driving until you reach a broken yellow centerline or designated intersection, as turning left across a solid yellow line into a private driveway is prohibited.
- CDelay activating your turn signal until 30 feet before the driveway so that tailgating traffic behind you is forced to slow down before you initiate the turn.
- DSignal your intent and begin turning immediately, as oncoming drivers are required to yield to any vehicle that has activated its turn signal.
Cevap
Signal continuously for at least 100 feet prior to the turn, yield to oncoming traffic, and cross the solid yellow line into the driveway when safe.
The correct procedure requires activating the turn signal continuously for at least 100 feet prior to the turn, yielding the right-of-way to oncoming traffic, and crossing the solid yellow centerline into the driveway when clear. Solid yellow lines restrict passing, but motor vehicle laws explicitly allow drivers to cross them to turn left into private property or driveways.
