This sign means?
- Yield the lane to oncoming traffic
- Two-way traffic ahead
- The lane is only for two-way left turns ✓
- The lane is only for right turns
Answer: C. The lane is only for two-way left turns
The sign means the lane is only for two-way left turns.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists this as a regulatory sign meaning the lane is only for two-way left turns. It also explains that the centre lane on some roads is a two-way left-turn lane, letting left-turning vehicles from both directions wait for a chance to turn without holding up traffic. That matches the sign's meaning: the lane is for left turns from either direction, not for ordinary through travel.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Yield the lane to oncoming traffic — The handbook mentions yielding to oncoming traffic when making a left turn, but it does not say this sign means yielding the lane to oncoming traffic.
- B. Two-way traffic ahead — The passages do not connect this sign with a warning that two-way traffic is ahead.
- D. The lane is only for right turns — The handbook states this sign means two-way left turns, not that the lane is only for right turns.
Remember it
Think of the centre lane as shared by left-turners from both directions; if you are not turning left, stay out of it.
