From: Nick Naim on 7 May 2010 21:00 2 lanes each on all 4 sides. With traffic lights each side. A state with right turn on red. --------------------------------- When you make a left turn into 2 thru lanes on your left you should enter and complete your turn in the left lane and not in the right lane right away.Do not make a left into the right lane Shortly there after you can move over into the right lane if clear of traffic and you so desire. Now here comes the hard part for drivers who have been driving for only 20 years or so. Now remember these young drivers are still learning the rules of the road. When you are making that left.........REMEMBER THIS. That vehicle accross the intersection from you in the right lane can turn right on a red light. At the same time you get a green left arrow on your side. ..

IME it is never safe to RTOR in the situation you describe. *more often than not* the left turner will turn into the right lane. It's wrong, but most people do it. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel

Hmmm...gotta brush up on the regs. I was taught that you turn into the lane matching the one you are coming from..or the one that matches it the closest. Of coruse that applied(s) where both lanes were allowed to turn left. Where only the left lane can turn left, then yes, into the left most lane. Harry K

I've seen many cars MISS this signal or ignore it. Plus,it's common for the entrance to a corner gas station or shopping center to be very close to the intersection,and you HAVE to turn into the rightmost lane if you want to get into those entryways. Lastly,Right-on-red can ONLY be made when traffic flow permits. That means if you have the green arrow,they cannot run right until turning traffic has cleared. Traffic with the green signal has the right-of- way,that includes green arrows. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com |
