If there are two or more left turn lanes, which lane should you use?

The best practice when there are two or more left turn lanes is to use the lane that is farthest left. This lane is typically designated for vehicles making left turns, as it aligns with the direction of the turn and minimizes interference with traffic that may be traveling straight through the intersection or turning left from different positions.

Using the farthest left lane helps ensure that your vehicle is positioned for an efficient and safe turn, reducing the likelihood of conflicts with other vehicles, whether they are turning or going straight. It also aids in better visibility for the driver to see oncoming traffic and pedestrians that may be crossing the intersection.

While the other options suggest using lanes that are not ideal for a left turn or leaving the choice up to any available lane, the farthest left lane is specifically designed for this maneuver and will facilitate a smoother turning process.
