Explanation
This lane is a center left turn lane, indicated by two lines-one broken and one solid. It is designed for vehicles turning left in either direction. When you plan to turn left, you must move completely into this lane to wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic. This lane helps avoid conflicts and makes left turns safer by allowing you to prepare and position yourself without disrupting the flow of traffic.
