When making a left turn onto a multiple lane road, where must you enter?

When making a left turn onto a multiple lane road, you should enter the lane just to the right of the center line. This maneuver is important for ensuring a safe and effective transition from a turning position to the lanes of traffic. By entering this lane, you align yourself to flow with the existing traffic and minimize the risk of collisions with vehicles that may be in the adjacent lanes.

Entering the closest lane to the right of the center line allows for a smoother integration into traffic, as it keeps the vehicle away from turning traffic coming from the opposite direction and avoids potential conflicts with vehicles in the far left lane that may be going straight or turning left. This method enhances safety for both the driver making the turn and other road users. Properly positioning yourself in the correct lane immediately upon entering the roadway also supports better traffic flow and reduces congestion.
