Explanation
When preparing for a right turn, signal well in advance, slow down, and move into the right-most lane. Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing your path. Make the turn into the right lane of the road you’re entering-not the left-unless signs or lane markings direct otherwise. Avoid wide, sweeping turns, as these can interfere with traffic in adjacent lanes.
