Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
As you near an intersection, you see that your lane has a white curved arrow that points left and the word ONLY painted on it. You want to go straight. What should you do?
A is well before a left-turn-only pavement arrow and ONLY marking, while an adjacent lane permits straight travel.
Correct answer: Change to a lane marked for straight travel early, when it is safe
Why
If you are already too close to change lanes safely, make the turn and find another way back to your route. A lane with both a curved and a straight arrow lets you turn or go straight. Overhead lane use control signs with arrows have the same meaning as the painted arrows.
