What does a two-way left-turn lane indicate?

• A. A Left Turn Is Allowed Only From The Leftmost Lane
• B. A Two-Way Left-Turn Lane Exists That Can Be Used By Traffic From Both Directions To Turn Left
• C. Left Turns Are Not Allowed
• D. There Is A Right Turn Only From The Center Lane

Answer: (B)

A center lane labeled for left turns is shared by traffic moving in both directions to make left turns. This lane exists so vehicles from either direction can pause and complete a left turn without backing up the through lanes. When you’re driving toward an intersection and plan to turn left, you can enter this center lane well before you reach the cross street, signal, yield to oncoming traffic, then turn into the new road. It’s not a through or right-turn lane, and you should not use it for passing. This arrangement helps reduce delays and keeps traffic flowing smoothly by separating turning movements from through traffic.
