    Study Notes

    Turning onto One-Way Streets

    • Start a left turn from a one-way street into another one-way street from the far left lane.
    • When turning right from a one-way street to another one-way street, begin the turn from the far right lane.

    U-Turns at Intersections

    • Initiate a U-turn at a 'T' intersection from a one-way street onto a two-way street while being in the farthest left lane available.

    Right-of-Way Situations

    • A vehicle stopping at a limit line typically yields the right-of-way to cross traffic and pedestrians.

    Highway Merging

    • When merging into highway traffic, do so at a speed that matches the flow of traffic to ensure safe and smooth integration.

    U-Turn Regulations

    • U-turns should not be made in front of oncoming traffic, at intersections with a "No U-Turn" sign, or in areas where visibility is limited.

    Left Turn Procedures

    • Start a left turn from a two-way street onto a one-way street from the rightmost lane designated for left turns.

    Ending Right Turns

    • End a right turn in the left lane closest to the middle of the street only if it is legal and safe to do so to access additional lanes.

    Avoidances When Turning

    • When making a right turn, avoid cutting off pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles to ensure safety.

    Fire Station Considerations

    • Never use a fire station driveway for turning around, as this could obstruct emergency vehicle access.

    Signaling for Turns

    • Signal your intent to turn left at least 100 feet before making the turn to inform other drivers and pedestrians.

    Limit Line Alternatives

    • In the absence of a limit line at an intersection, stop at the point where you have a clear view of oncoming traffic.

    Safety in Turns

    • Keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until entering a turn to prevent your vehicle from inadvertently rolling into traffic.

    Conditions for U-Turns

    • U-turns are allowed under conditions where signs do not prohibit them, and visibility is sufficient for safe execution.

    Turning Left on Red

    • A left turn against a red light is permitted only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, ensuring it's safe.

    Roundabout Procedures

    • Choose the right lane for making a right turn when approaching a roundabout for efficient navigation.
    • To go straight through a roundabout, select the lane that allows for straight movement without diverging to the right.

    Pedestrian Crossing Protocol

    • Always yield to pedestrians crossing a roadway to ensure their safety, regardless of traffic signals.

    Roundabout Entry and Exit

    • Enter a roundabout from the designated lane and exit when the desired exit is reached while maintaining awareness of surrounding traffic.
