Can You Go Straight in a Left-Turn Lane?

[McAnthony]

You cannot go straight in a left-turn lane. A left-turn lane without straight markings on the road surface also prohibits right turns. Below is the relevant information: Turn signs: If there is both a left-turn sign and a straight sign, you can make a left turn. If there is only a left-turn sign, but the straight signal is green and the left-turn lane is sometimes empty, you may borrow the lane to go straight—this does not count as a violation. According to Article 51: At intersections with designated lanes, enter the lane corresponding to your intended direction. Where traffic signs or markings control the right of way, yield to the party with priority. In the absence of such controls, stop and observe before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles approaching from the right.
