To turn left from multilane, one-way streets and highways, you should start from:
- The middle of the intersection.
- The right lane.
- The left lane. ✓
- Any lane.
Answer: C. The left lane.
When you turn left from a multilane one-way street or highway, begin the turn from the left lane.
Why this is the answer
The manual lists lane positions for turns and says they come from legal requirements, not just friendly advice. For a left turn from a one-way road into a one-way road, it tells you to move into the left lane as you get ready to turn. On a multilane one-way street, that left lane is where you belong before the turn. The manual also says that when the road you enter has two lanes, you must turn into its left lane. Starting anywhere else puts you out of position with traffic moving the same direction.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. The middle of the intersection. — The middle of the intersection is where you pass through and complete the turn, not a lane you drive from while preparing for it.
- B. The right lane. — The right lane is the starting position for a right turn, which the manual says should be made from as far right as possible, not for a left turn.
- D. Any lane. — Any lane is wrong because the manual gives a required lane position for turns and says these positions come from legal requirements.
Remember it
Left turn, left lane: on a one-way street the lane closest to the left side is where you set up before turning.
