Study Notes
Right Turns
- Drive close to the right edge of the road and enter a designated right turn lane if available.
- Check for bicyclists in your blind spots and signal 100 feet before the turn.
- Look over your right shoulder and reduce speed, then stop behind the limit line or before the crosswalk/intersection.
- Look both ways and turn when safe, completing the turn in the right lane.
- You can turn right at a red light after a complete stop, unless there is a "No Turn on Red" sign.
- You cannot turn right at a red arrow, wait until the light changes to green.
Right Turns in Specific Situations
- It is legal to drive in a public transit bus lane to make a right turn, but you may not drive, stop, park, or leave a vehicle in the bus lane otherwise.
- When turning right onto a road with a dedicated lane, you may turn without stopping even at a red light, obeying any traffic light or sign on the right curb of the turn lane and yielding to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
Left Turns
- Drive close to the center divider or left turn lane, entering a designated left turn lane at the opening.
- Enter a two-way center left turn lane within 200 feet of the turn and signal 100 feet before the turn.
- Look over your left shoulder and reduce speed, stopping behind the limit line or before the crosswalk/intersection.
- Look both ways and turn when safe, completing the turn in the left lane and keeping wheels pointed straight ahead until turning.
- You can turn left against a red light when turning from a one-way street onto a one-way street, yielding to vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists with a green light.
U-Turns
- A U-turn is turning your vehicle to go back in the direction you came.
- U-turns are allowed across a double yellow line, in residential districts, at intersections on green lights/arrows, and on divided highways with an opening.
- U-turns are prohibited where "No U-turn" signs are posted, at/on railroad crossings, on divided highways crossing a section, curb, or two sets of double yellow lines, when visibility is less than 200 feet, on one-way streets, and in front of fire stations and in business districts.
Turning onto One-Way Streets
- When making a left turn from a two-way street onto a one-way street, start from the left lane closest to the middle of the street and end the turn in any open lane if there are three or more lanes.
- When making a right turn from a one-way street onto another one-way street, start in the far-right lane and end in any safe lane.
Merging and Exiting
- To merge onto a highway, be in the proper lane on the on-ramp, match the speed of traffic, merge into traffic when safe, use mirrors and turn signals, and check blind spots.
- To safely exit a highway, know your exit and plan ahead, signal five seconds before exiting, check blind spots and change lanes one at a time, exit at a safe speed, and do not cross solid lines.
Entering Traffic
- When entering traffic from a full stop, leave a required space of half a block on city streets (about 150 feet) or a full block on the highway (about 300 feet).
- When passing, check for oncoming vehicles or bicyclists, hills, curves, intersections, or road obstructions, and road conditions causing other vehicles to move into your lane.
