When can a left or right turn be made from a lane other than the far left or far right lane?

• A. When the lane is marked for turning.
• B. Never, except in an emergency.
• C. If there is no traffic.
• D. Only on highways.

Answer: (A)

You can turn from a lane other than the far left or far right whenever that lane is marked for turning. Road markings and arrows tell you which lanes are allowed to turn. If a middle lane has a left-turn or right-turn marking, you may use that lane to begin your turn, signaling in advance and finishing the turn from that lane into your intended street. The idea isn’t about traffic conditions or being on a highway; it’s about following the lane markings. The other options don’t fit because turns from non-marked lanes aren’t allowed, and eligibility isn’t limited to emergencies or to highways.
