Question 4543

On this two-way roadway, to turn left, you must position the vehicle...

  1. on the right edge of the roadway.
  2. off the roadway, since the shoulder is not usable.
  3. at the centerline of the roadway, without entering the area for oncoming traffic.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: at the centerline of the roadway, without entering the area for oncoming traffic.

On a two-way road, you prepare for a left turn from your lane, close to the line separating the directions of traffic or, if there is no line, close to the center of the roadway, without entering the oncoming side. Keeping close to the right edge puts you in position to turn right. Moving off the roadway to turn left is the rule for human-powered cycles (ciclos) and two-wheeled mopeds on roads outside built-up areas.
