AAA How To Drive Practice Test

What is the correct procedure for making a left turn at an intersection?

Turn from any lane without signaling Approaching in the correct lane, yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, complete turn into the proper lane Stop before turning and wait for a crosswalk light Cut across to the far lane and then turn

Correct Answer:

Approaching in the correct lane, yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, complete turn into the proper lane

Explanation:

Turning left safely starts with being in the correct lane for a left turn, signaling your intent, and then yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the intersection. When it’s clear, you complete the turn into the proper lane on the road you’re entering—usually the left lane relative to the road you’re turning onto. This sequence keeps traffic flow predictable and reduces the chance of collisions. The other options break safety rules: turning from any lane without signaling creates confusion; waiting for a crosswalk light isn’t how left turns are typically signaled; and cutting across to a far lane before turning can put you in the path of vehicles you haven’t accounted for.
