A motorist driving along a multi-lane urban roadway approaches an intersection where they intend to execute a left turn. Arrange the following driving maneuvers in the correct chronological order from first action to last action to perform this turn safely and legally.
- 1Check mirrors and perform a shoulder blind-spot check for surrounding vehicles and cyclists.
- 2Engage the left turn signal continuously for at least 100 feet prior to changing lanes or turning.
- 3Transition smoothly into the designated leftmost turn lane.
- 4Yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians present in the crosswalk.
- 5Steer into the intersection and complete the turn into the lane that directly corresponds to the lane exited.
Cevap
The proper sequence for executing a left turn on a multi-lane street is: 1) Check mirrors and blind spots, 2) Signal continuously at least 100 feet in advance, 3) Move into the dedicated leftmost turn lane, 4) Yield right-of-way to oncoming traffic and crosswalk pedestrians, and 5) Complete the turn into the corresponding lane of the destination street.
The correct procedural sequence follows safe defensive driving standards: observing traffic via mirrors and shoulder checks must precede signaling intent. Early signaling (at least 100 feet ahead) establishes warning before entering the leftmost turning lane. Once in position at the intersection, right-of-way rules require yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before finalizing the turn into the corresponding lane.
