On a two-way roadway with a center lane, drivers from either direction can _________ from the center lane.

• A. Pass other vehicles
• B. Make left turns
• C. Make right turns
• D. Make frequent stops

Answer: (B)

The center lane on a two-way road is a two-way left-turn lane. It’s there to give space for vehicles from either direction to move into and wait so they can turn left onto a cross street or into a driveway without blocking the through lanes. So drivers from either direction may use that center lane to make left turns. This lane isn’t intended for passing other vehicles, making right turns from the center, or stopping frequently. Use it only to prepare for a left turn and complete the turn when it’s safe, yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians as needed.
