Multiple Choice

To turn off of a four-lane roadway, you must turn from which lane?

Exiting a multi-lane road safely means you should begin the turn from the lane closest to the right edge of your side of the road. On a four-lane roadway, that is the lane directly to the right of the center line—the right-hand lane for your direction. This keeps you in the proper exit path, reduces the need to cross several lanes of traffic, and helps you merge smoothly into the cross street. Using a more leftward lane would require crossing more traffic or ending up in the wrong lane on the cross street.
