Which statement best describes the content of the two-way left-turn sign?

• A. Left Turns Are Prohibited.
• B. Left Turns Are Allowed From The Leftmost Lane Only.
• C. Left Turns Are Permitted From Both Directions Into A Shared Center Lane.
• D. Left Turns Are Prohibited In The Adjacent Lane.

Answer: (C)

This sign is teaching you about a center left-turn lane that both directions use. The two-way left-turn lane is a shared space in the middle of a multi-lane roadway where traffic from either direction can wait to make a left turn. Left turns are permitted from both directions into this center lane, which helps keep the through lanes moving smoothly and reduces backup at intersections. When you approach this area, position yourself in the center lane only if you’re preparing to turn left, signal in advance, and wait for a safe opportunity to complete your turn into the cross street. Don’t use this lane for regular driving or passing, and don’t assume you can turn from the normal travel lanes—use the center lane for turning, not for continuous driving.
