What does the edge marking look like on a two-way left-turn lane?

• A. Two solid lines
• B. Solid lines outside; dashed lines inside
• C. Dashed outside lines; solid inside lines
• D. Dashed inside lines; dashed outside lines

Answer: (B)

Two-way left-turn lanes use outer solid lines and inner dashed lines as edge markings. The solid lines on the outside show you must stay within those boundaries and cannot cross into the adjacent travel lanes. The dashed lines on the inside indicate you may cross into or out of the left-turn lane from the adjacent lanes when it’s safe, typically when preparing to make a left turn. This setup distinguishes the center lane used for left turns from the regular lanes and guides where you can legally cross borders.
