In Australia (and most jurisdictions with similar road rules), when turning left into a multi-lane road, you generally must turn into the leftmost available lane, unless:
Road markings (like arrows) or signs specifically allow you to turn directly into another lane; or
You're driving a large vehicle (like a truck or bus) and need extra space.
Here's how the rules work:
✅ Default Rule: Turn into the left lane first
You must turn into the lane closest to you (the left lane).
After the turn, you can change lanes when safe and legal.
❌ Turning directly into the right lane (middle or far right)
This is not allowed unless road signs or markings explicitly permit it.
Doing this may cause a crash or put you at fault if another driver is turning right from the opposite direction into their closest lane (rightmost from their perspective).
???? Right-turning vehicles from opposite direction
If you're turning left, you generally have right of way over cars turning right from the opposite direction — but only if you're staying in your correct lane.
If you turn left directly into the right lane, you may actually fail to give way and be at fault in the event of a collision.
Example:
You: Turning left from a side street into a two-lane road.
Other car: Turning right from the opposite side into the same road.
➡️ You must turn into the left lane,
⬅️ They must turn into the right lane.
No conflict, everyone is safe.
If you're unsure, always stick to:
"Turn into the nearest available lane."
Let me know the state or city you're driving in if you want the exact road rule reference. |
