Question 5282

On an urban road, when you are using the lane that best suits your destination, may you leave that lane?

  2. Yes, to prepare to turn, pass, stop, or park.
  3. No, under no circumstances.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, to prepare to turn, pass, stop, or park.

Yes. On a street with several marked lanes in your direction that is neither a freeway (autopista) nor a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), you choose the lane that best suits your destination. Once you have chosen it, you may leave it only to prepare to turn, pass, stop, or park. When changing lanes, signal well in advance and yield to anyone already in the lane you are entering.
