How far may you drive in a center left turn lane before you turn?

  • A. No more than 100 feet
  • B. No more than 200 feet (Right)
  • C. As far as you need, if you signal

Right

A center left turn lane is only for preparing and making a left turn or U-turn, and you may drive in it for no more than 200 feet. It is not a travel lane or a passing lane, the handbook says.
