Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

What are drivers allowed to do in a lane designated for both continuing straight and left turns?

1. Only turn straight

2. Only turn left

3. Either turn left or continue straight

4. Must change lanes before the intersection

The correct answer is: Either turn left or continue straight

In a lane designated for both continuing straight and left turns, drivers are permitted to either turn left or continue straight. This allows for flexible movement depending on the driver's destination while maintaining traffic flow and providing a clear path for those who may need to go left. Such lanes are marked to indicate that they accommodate both actions, which is important for efficient navigation at intersections. This designation helps to prevent confusion for drivers approaching the intersection and encourages safe decision-making according to their intended route. Drivers should, however, remain vigilant and signal their intentions, as well as check for other vehicles or pedestrians when making either maneuver to ensure safety. It’s vital for drivers to be aware of the traffic regulations in their area, especially in situations where multiple actions are permitted in a single lane.
