Multiple Lane Intersection Choices
Name:_______________________________
Date: ______________________________
Note: As a rule of thumb when you are turning from or into a multi-lane street, you should make
left turns from the farthest legal lane to the left into the farthest legal lane to the left, and right turns
from the farthest legal lane to the right into the farthest legal lane to the right.
On multiple-lane streets where more than one lane is permitted to turn, you should turn into the
same lane as the one from which you turned (e.g., if turning left from the 2d legal lane from the left,
you should turn into the 2d legal lane from the left, and so on). However, you should follow the
pavement markings if a different procedure is expected at a particular intersection.
Directions: Write the number of the correct lane or the letter of the correct answer on the line.
