Two-way to One-way: In a two-way to one-way turn, which action describes the proper lane use?

• A. Enter the rightmost lane.
• B. Enter any lane on the right.
• C. Enter the same lane you started.
• D. Turn from lane nearest the yellow line. Enter the first available lane on the left.

Answer: (D)

When turning from a two-way street onto a one-way street, the turn should be started from the lane closest to the center line (the lane nearest the yellow line). This positioning keeps your approach aligned with the intended path into the one-way street and helps you complete the turn safely without swinging wide into opposing traffic. After you’ve entered the one-way street, you should move into the first available lane on the left. On a one-way road, the leftmost lane is the natural position to begin traveling in the direction of traffic and to continue smoothly without unnecessary lane changes. If that left lane is open, you take it, and if not, you select the next available leftmost lane. Choosing any other starting lane or ending in a different lane would disrupt the turn path and can create conflicts with other vehicles.
