When turning left from a two-way street onto a one-way street, how should you position your vehicle?

• A. Turn from the leftmost lane into the leftmost lane of the destination street when safe.
• B. Turn from the leftmost lane into the center lane of the destination street.
• C. Turn from the rightmost lane into the leftmost lane of the destination street.
• D. Turn from the center lane into any available lane on the destination street.

Answer: (A)

When turning left from a two-way street onto a one-way street, you should end up in the leftmost lane of the destination street. This keeps your path aligned with the traffic flow on the one-way street and avoids ending up in a middle or right lane where vehicles may be traveling straight or turning from different lanes. Set up in the leftmost lane of the two-way, signal, and complete the turn into the leftmost lane of the one-way when it’s safe. Turning into any other lane increases the chance of weaving, conflicts with other drivers, or blocking traffic.
