Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You drive on a three-lane road. The center lane has a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line on each side. You want to turn left into a store driveway ahead. How should you use the center lane?
A approaches a store driveway on a road with a shared center turn lane bounded by solid and broken yellow lines.
Correct answer: Enter it near the driveway and drive in it no farther than 150 feet
Why
Drivers from both directions share this lane, so watch for a vehicle coming toward you in it. Signal, check your mirrors, and move into the lane only a short distance before your turn. A center lane with a single broken yellow line on both sides is different: it is a passing lane for both directions.
