Turn: Position and Method When Not Otherwise Marked or Posted
A safety statute prescribes the required position of a vehicle when making a (right
turn) (left turn into an intersection) (left turn into a private road or driveway) (turn indicated
by markers).
[Use the appropriate following paragraph.]
[Right Turn: The law requires that both the approach for a right turn and the right turn
shall be made as closely as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway. If,
because of the size of the vehicle or the nature of the intersecting roadway, the turn cannot be
made from the traffic lane next to the right-hand edge of the roadway, the turn shall be made
with due regard for all other traffic.]
[Left Turn: The law requires that the approach for a left turn shall be made in that lane
farthest to the left which is lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of
the vehicle about to turn left. This means (the lane immediately to the right of the center line
or center dividing strip of the two-way highway) (the lane next to the left-hand curb or edge
of the roadway of the one-way highway). The intersection shall be entered in the lane of
approach and, whenever practicable, the left turn shall be made in that portion of the
intersection immediately to the left of the center of the intersection. The left turn shall be
completed so as to enter the intersecting highway in the lane farthest to the left which is
lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of the vehicle completing the left turn.
This means (the lane immediately to the right of the center line or center dividing strip of the
two-way highway) (the lane next to the left-hand curb or edge of the roadway of the one-way
highway).]
[Left Turn into Private Road or Driveway: The law requires that the approach for a
left turn into a private road or driveway shall be made in the lane farthest to the left which is
lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of the vehicle about to turn left.
This means (the lane immediately to the right of the center line or center dividing strip of the
two-way highway) (the lane next to the left-hand curb or edge of the roadway of the one-way
highway) (the center lane of the three-lane highway). If, because of the size of the vehicle or
the nature of the intersecting private road or driveway, the turn cannot be made from the
specified lane of approach, the turn shall be made with due regard for all other traffic.]
