Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Drivers in this lane are permitted to turn left only.
The sign 'LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT' is a regulatory sign indicating a mandatory movement. Drivers in that specific lane are legally required to turn left and are not permitted to go straight or make any other maneuver.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. While yielding may be necessary for a left turn, the primary instruction of this sign is the mandatory turn itself, not the yielding condition.
- C. This is incorrect; 'MUST TURN LEFT' indicates a mandatory action, not an option to go straight.
- D. This is the opposite of what the sign indicates; it requires a left turn, not prohibits it.
