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.
