When turning left from a two-way street onto another two-way street, which lane should you enter?

• A. The lane closest to the center of the street you are entering.
• B. The leftmost lane on the street you are entering.
• C. The right-hand lane.
• D. Any lane that aligns with your speed.

Answer: (A)

When you turn left from a two-way street onto another two-way street, you should aim for the lane that’s closest to the center of the street you’re entering. This lane is the one intended for traffic coming from your direction after the turn. Entering the inner, center-near lane keeps you in alignment with the flow of traffic on the street you’re entering and minimizes crossing or blocking other lanes. Once the turn is complete and you’re past the intersection, you can merge into the correct lane for your next move if needed. Always signal, watch for pedestrians, and yield as required.
