On a five-lane street, the center lane has a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line on each side, and left-turn arrows that point in opposite directions. How should you use this lane?
A five-lane street has opposite left-turn arrows in its center lane and solid-plus-broken yellow boundaries on both sides. A remains in a through lane before a driveway on the left.
Correct answer: Enter it a short distance before your left turn, with your whole car in it.
Why
A two-way left-turn lane is shared by drivers from both directions who want to turn left, so it is not designed as a travel or passing lane. Signal, move into it a short distance before your turn, and bring your whole vehicle into the lane so through traffic can pass. Then turn when oncoming traffic and pedestrians leave a safe gap.
