Practice question

On a 2-way roadway with a center lane, what can drivers from either direction do?

  1. Make right turns only
  2. Make overlapping turns
  3. Make left turns
  4. Make U-turns

Answer: C — Make left turns

In a two-way roadway with a center turn lane, drivers from either direction are permitted to make left turns. The center lane is designated for vehicles preparing to turn left from either direction onto a street or driveway. When using this lane, it's important for drivers to ensure that it is clear of incoming traffic before making their turn. Drivers should be aware that while they can utilize this lane safely for left turns, it should not be used for passing or for two vehicles to turn left at the same time. The primary purpose is to facilitate safe turns, which is why option C is identified as the correct answer. This practice helps maintain the flow of traffic and minimizes potential conflict between vehicles traveling in opposite directions.
