Which Lane to Turn Into When Making a Left Turn from a Three-Lane Road?

[RyanFitz]

When making a left turn into a three-lane road, you should enter the leftmost lane. The purpose of setting up a left-turn waiting area is as follows: 1. The left-turn waiting area is only for vehicles making a left turn. When the green light for straight-going vehicles in the same direction is on, even if the left-turn signal is red, left-turning vehicles are allowed to enter the 'left-turn waiting area' at the intersection and wait until the left-turn signal turns green before proceeding through the intersection. 2. The left-turn waiting line is not a 'stop line.' If both the straight-going and left-turn signal lights are red, all vehicles must wait behind the previous stop line. 3. In the left-turn waiting area, when the green light for the straight-going lane in the same direction is on, vehicles in the left-turn lane must move forward into the waiting area and wait for the signal to change before turning.
