None of the above.

Explanation
When a large truck is making a right turn, it needs to swing wide to complete the turn. This is because the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels, and longer vehicles have a greater difference in their turning paths. As a result, the truck may appear to be turning left when it's actually making a right turn. Give truck drivers plenty of room to turn and never try to squeeze between a truck and the curb or another vehicle.
