What should you do with signs and pavement markings before turning?

• A. Always turn from the closest lane to your destination.
• B. Always check signs and pavement markings for lane directions. Ensure you're in the correct lane to turn or go straight.
• C. Signaling is optional if there is no traffic.
• D. You should ride the shoulder while checking signs.

Answer: (B)

Before you turn, check the road signs and the painted lane markings to see which lane you must be in for your intended movement. Signs tell you which lanes are for turning and going straight, and arrows painted on the pavement show exactly where each lane leads. Being in the correct lane before you reach the turn minimizes last‑second lane changes, reduces confusion for other drivers, and helps you turn safely and legally. If you discover you’re in the wrong lane, don’t try to make the turn from there. continue straight to a safe point and change lanes in advance, or choose a different route that keeps you in the proper lane. Also, always signal your intent before turning to alert others, and never ride the shoulder to “check” signs—stay in your lane and follow the markings and signs.
