Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. You may only enter the turn lane from the adjacent lane, and once in, you cannot leave until the intersection.
A solid white line on the left and a broken white line on the right for a turn lane indicate that you must enter the turn lane from the adjacent lane where the broken line allows, but once inside the lane (past the broken line), you must remain in it until you complete your turn. The solid line on the left prohibits crossing.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Pavement markings indicate lane usage rules, not signal requirements.
- B. The solid white line prohibits merging out once in the lane.
- C. The solid white line prohibits exiting the turn lane once entered.
