Practice question

Before making a left turn from a one-way street, you should be:

  1. Close to the left-hand side of the roadway.
  2. Close to the centre of the roadway.
  3. Close to the right-hand side of the roadway.
  4. Your position doesn't matter, provided you signal your intention.

Answer: A — Close to the left-hand side of the roadway.

Before making a left turn from a one-way street, it is essential to position yourself close to the left-hand side of the roadway. This positioning helps ensure that you are in the correct lane to make the turn safely and legally. By being near the left edge, you are aligning yourself with the traffic flow and reducing the risk of turning into the path of oncoming vehicles. Additionally, this position allows for better visibility of any pedestrians or obstacles that may be crossing or present immediately after the turn. Proper positioning enhances your safety and the safety of others while executing the turn.
