Explain the key steps in safely using shared left turn lanes.
Describe the key steps to safely use shared left-turn lanes.
1. Use shared left turn lane only to turn left - if you do not intend to turn left, stay out of the lane.
2. Do not get in the lane too soon - the farther you drive in the center lane, the more likely you are to come into conflict with someone coming from the opposite direction.
3. Watch for vehicles pulling out of driveways/ cross streets - drivers may cut across in front of you or turn into the shared lane to wait for a gap in traffic.
4. Yield the right-of-way to any vehicle that is signaling to enter or that has already entered the lane - if you need to stop in the left turn lane, do so with your front tires pointing straight ahead. This reduces the chance of being pushed into oncoming traffic if struck from the rear of the vehicle.
5. Give youself just enough time and space to check traffic in all directions, signal, enter the lane, straigten out your vehicle and, if neccesary stop.
