You drive on a five-lane street. The middle lane has a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line on each side, and its left-turn arrows point in both directions. You want to turn left into a store driveway just ahead. How should you use the middle lane?
A travels on a five-lane street with two lanes each direction and a shared center left-turn lane. The store driveway is just ahead across opposing traffic.
Correct answer: Enter it close to the driveway when it is clear, then wait there for a gap in oncoming traffic.
Why
A shared center lane has a solid and a broken yellow line on each edge and left-turn arrows that alternate in direction. Drivers from either direction use it to get ready for a left turn or a permitted U-turn. Because two drivers can meet head-on in it, use it only to prepare for your turn, not to travel along the street, and enter only after you check that it is clear.
