Must U-turn Vehicles Use the Leftmost Lane in Dual Left-Turn Lanes?

[PiperLynn]

Although traffic laws do not explicitly stipulate that U-turn vehicles must use the leftmost left-turn lane in dual left-turn lane configurations, doing so at least reduces safety hazards. Below is relevant information about lanes: Introduction: Lanes, also known as traffic lanes or carriageways, are designated paths for vehicle travel on roads. They are established on both regular roads and expressways, with expressways enforcing legal regulations on lane usage, such as travel lanes and overtaking lanes. Lane markings: Many countries implement lane markings on road surfaces. The most common markings are directional arrows. In Beijing, China, starting with the Airport Expressway, all newly constructed expressways feature ground-level lane markings, particularly those indicating speed limits. Maximum speed limits are displayed in orange, while minimum speed limits are shown in white. The newly opened southwestern Sixth Ring Road section in 2004 also implemented ground-level speed limit markings. The Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway's Beijing section has also begun implementing lane-specific speed limits.
