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.
Start from the left lane when turning left from a multilane one-way street or highway.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says that when you turn left from a one-way street, you turn from the left lane into the right lane, continuing in the same direction. That puts you in the lane closest to the side you are turning toward, so your path doesn't cut across other traffic. The section on turning from a two-way street mentions moving into the center lane, but that is a different situation from a one-way street.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. The middle of the intersection. — The middle of the intersection is where you end up passing through, not the lane you begin the turn from.
- B. The right lane. — The right lane is the wrong side to launch a left turn from on a one-way street; the handbook points to the left lane.
- D. Any lane. — Any lane is too loose: the handbook gives the left lane as the starting lane for a left turn from a one-way street.
Remember it
Left turn on a one-way? Line up in the left lane first, then swing across into the right lane as you finish.
