If you’re going to turn left onto a one-way street, you should complete the turn into:
- The right lane.
- The lane closest to your previous lane. ✓
- Either lane.
- Neither lane.
Answer: B. The lane closest to your previous lane.
When you turn left onto a one-way street, finish the turn in the lane closest to your previous lane, which is the left lane of the road you enter.
Why this is the answer
The manual treats turn positions as legal requirements, not suggestions. For a left turn from a two-way road into a one-way road, it says to approach from the right half of the roadway closest to the center, begin the turn before you reach the center of the intersection, and enter the left lane of the road you are entering. The one-way-to-one-way section says the same thing: if the road you enter has two lanes, you must turn into its left lane. That left lane is the one nearest the lane you turned from.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. The right lane. — The manual directs you into the left lane of the one-way road you enter, not the right lane.
- C. Either lane. — The manual names one specific lane rather than leaving the choice open, so either lane is not correct.
- D. Neither lane. — You must complete the turn into a lane of the new road, and the manual identifies that lane as the left one.
Remember it
Turning left into a one-way? Aim for the lane that sits closest to the lane you left, meaning the left lane.
