Explanation
When making a U-turn on a divided street with multiple lanes, it is safest to start from the leftmost lane. This allows you to turn into the opposite direction while minimizing interference with other lanes of traffic. The left lane is usually closest to the center of the road, providing a clearer path and reducing the risk of crossing into oncoming traffic. You may only make a U-turn on a divided highway if a center divider opening is provided and no "No U-Turn" signs are posted.
