Legal Question in Traffic Law in Nevada
This question is concerning signalized intersections. When there are two left turn lanes turning onto a street that has three lanes, which two lanes should the cars end up in?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You must maintain the lane you are in. People violate this law all the time. They make a left turn but then do not stay in the left lane on the new street, usually because they want to turn into a parking lot right away. In act, they change lanes in the middle of the intersection. It is illegal to change lanes in the middle of an intersection.
Here are a few of the legal sources. Note, the law may vary depending on the jurisdiction you are in:
