At a J-turn intersection, how do you turn left from a side road onto the main road?
Correct answer
- a) Wait for an opening in traffic. Then enter the middle of the intersection and turn left.
- b) Turn right in the same direction of traffic, merge into the far left lane, and then make a left turn in the direction you intend to travel.
- Do neither a) nor b).
Explanation
To turn left onto a main road at a J-turn intersection, you actually turn right and then turn around. That is, you turn right in the same direction of traffic, merge into the far left lane, and then make a left turn in the direction you intend to travel. This eliminates the need for protected left turns (with green arrow signals).
