Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
A center lane has a solid yellow line and a dashed yellow line along each side, and left-turn arrows on the pavement. You move into it to turn left into a store driveway ahead. What is the longest distance that you may drive in this lane before you turn?
A occupies a center lane marked with opposing left-turn arrows and paired solid and dashed yellow boundaries. No distance or travel route is marked.
Correct answer: 300 feet
Why
These markings show a two-way left-turn lane that drivers from both directions share. You may cross the solid yellow line on your side to enter it, but you may not use it to pass. Watch the oncoming side closely, because drivers coming toward you can move into the same lane to make their own left turns.
