Can you take any lane on the road you are entering after changing direction to the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we turn left at a junction with traffic lights and enter a roadway that has two lanes in our direction. After turning left, you may take any lane on the roadway you are entering - the answer is YES.
The rules do not require you to take a specific lane after turning left onto a roadway with several lanes in one direction. You choose the one that suits the rest of your route, remembering that you must not occupy more than one lane. For safety, when a vehicle from the adjacent lane is turning at the same time as you, each vehicle enters the lane that corresponds to it, so that their paths do not cross. If you want to change lanes after the turn, you do it only after the junction, signalling the manoeuvre and giving way to vehicles in the lane you are moving into. Watch out for pedestrians on the crossing after the turn.
