Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You want to turn left into a private driveway across double solid yellow center lines. No sign prohibits the turn, and the movement can be made safely. What do the lines allow?
Blue car A approaches a private driveway across the opposing lane and double solid yellow center lines. No traffic or sign prohibits the turn in the stated example.
Correct answer: A safe left turn into the driveway after yielding.
Why
Double yellow lines ordinarily prohibit passing, but they do not prohibit a safe left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway. Signal, yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, and check any posted restrictions. Do not use this turning exception to pass a vehicle.
