Tennessee Permit Practice Test

Which lane must you be in before making a left turn from a one-way street?

1. The lane nearest the left curb.

2. The lane nearest the center of the street.

3. The lane nearest the right curb.

4. Speeds up to 55 m.p.h.

The correct answer is: The lane nearest the left curb.

When making a left turn from a one-way street, you should be in the lane nearest the left curb. This is the correct choice because it allows for a smooth and safe turn without crossing other lanes of traffic. Being in the correct lane position helps ensure that you do not impede the flow of traffic or create a hazardous situation for yourself and others on the road. Option B, the lane nearest the center of the street, is incorrect because turning from this lane would involve crossing over multiple lanes of traffic, which is unsafe and can lead to accidents. Option C, the lane nearest the right curb, is also incorrect as it would require you to make a sharp and difficult turn to get to the correct side of the road for a left turn. Option D, speeds up to 55 m.p.h., is unrelated to the lane position for making a left turn from a one-way street and is thus incorrect in this context.
