Which lane should you take for a left turn on a three-lane road?
1 Answers
When making a left turn onto a three-lane road, you should enter the leftmost lane. Typically, the rightmost lane of a three-lane road is designated for right turns, the middle lane for going straight, and the leftmost lane for left turns. Therefore, when turning left on a three-lane road, you should take the leftmost lane. The following are the relevant provisions from the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": 1. Article 51: At intersections with marked lanes, enter the appropriate lane according to the direction you intend to go. Vehicles preparing to enter a roundabout must yield to vehicles already in the roundabout. When turning left, stay to the left of the center point of the intersection and turn on your turn signal. Use low beams when driving at night. 2. Article 52: At intersections with traffic signs or markings, yield to the party with the right of way. At intersections without traffic signs or markings, stop and look before entering, yield to vehicles coming from the right, and yield to vehicles going straight when turning. For vehicles coming from opposite directions, those turning right must yield to those turning left.
