What does it mean to take a wide turn while driving?
1 Answers
This wide turn and small turn refer to the turning radius. The right turn has a smaller radius, while the left turn has a larger radius. Alternatively, it can be described in terms of the turning path—the left turn covers a longer path, and the right turn covers a shorter one. The purpose of taking a wide turn while driving: Vehicles are required to take a wide left turn and a small right turn to ensure traffic safety and avoid collisions with non-motorized vehicles. Small right turn: When making a right turn, vehicles should take a small turn because a larger turning radius would interfere with straight-moving vehicles. Additionally, when turning right, without affecting straight-moving vehicles, the turn should lead into the rightmost lane. If the turn ends up in the middle or leftmost lane, it would disrupt traffic in other lanes.
