How should you use a continuous two-way center left-turn lane?
- A Enter it a short distance before your turn, fully inside the lane
- B Use it as an extra travel lane to get around slow-moving traffic ahead
- C Drive in it for several blocks before turning
- D Use it to merge after turning onto the road
Show answer
A. Enter it a short distance before your turn, fully inside the lane
A two-way left-turn lane is not a travel lane. Signal, move in a short distance before your turn with your whole vehicle inside it, and turn when the way is clear.
On a divided highway you notice the edge line on your right is painted yellow. What does this mean?
- A You are in the passing lane
- B A lane is ending ahead
- C You are in a work zone
- D You are driving the wrong way
Show answer
D. You are driving the wrong way
On a divided highway, the line on your right should be white and the yellow line on your left. A yellow line on your right means you are going the wrong way and must correct at once.
