Question 7154
To turn left on a road where no marking separates the two directions of traffic, where must you position yourself?
- Close to the center of the roadway, without encroaching into the opposite direction.
- In the center of the roadway, encroaching into part of the opposite direction if necessary.
- On the shoulder; the maneuver must be made from there.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Close to the center of the roadway, without encroaching into the opposite direction.
When no marking separates the directions of traffic, you use the center of the roadway as your guide. To turn left, you position yourself close to it without entering the oncoming half at all. Moving onto the shoulder to turn is the rule for human-powered cycles (ciclos) and two-wheeled mopeds on roads outside built-up areas.
