When turning left, where should you leave the center of the intersection?
Changing direction
Explanation
Left turn: position relative to the center of the intersection
- General rule: when turning **left**, the **center of the intersection** must be to your **left**.
- Reason: facilitates crossing with oncoming vehicles, prevents lane invasions, and organizes traffic flow.
- What is the “center”: the midpoint of the intersection or the central **island**, if it exists.
- Exceptions: when **signage** or **design** indicate a different path (e.g., **roundabouts**, **channelized** intersections, directional arrows, islands that guide the passage).
