Signals and pavement markingsQuestion 101 of 296

You want to enter a two-way left-turn lane. What must be true before you enter it?

  1. The lane is empty behind you only
  2. The lane is free of oncoming traffic for enough distance
  3. Another driver has entered it first
  4. You have signalled for at least 10 seconds
Show answer

Correct answer: The lane is free of oncoming traffic for enough distance

Drivers from the other direction use the same lane. Enter only when your move does not affect oncoming vehicles. Enter close to your turn point.
