Practice question

On a two-way street with three or more lanes, when you want to make a left turn you should turn from:

  1. Any lane on the left side
  2. The far right lane
  3. The center lane
  4. Any available lane

Answer: B — The far right lane

Making a left turn from the far right lane ensures that you do not conflict with any oncoming traffic and prevents you from illegally crossing double yellow lines in the center of the road. Choosing any of the other options would either obstruct traffic in one direction or put you in danger of colliding with oncoming vehicles. Turning from any available lane may also require you to make multiple lane changes, which can increase the likelihood of accidents. Therefore, turning from the far right lane is the safest and most efficient option when making a left turn on a two-way street with three or more lanes.
