Chapter 10.36 TURNING MOVEMENTS
10.36.040 Required position and method.
The driver of a vehicle intending to turn at an intersection
shall do so as follows:
A. Right Turns. Both the approach for a right turn and a
right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge
of the roadway.
B. Left Turns on Two-way Roadways. At any intersection where
traffic is permitted to move in both directions on each roadway entering the
intersection, an approach for a left turn shall be made in that portion of the
right half of the roadway nearest the centerline thereof and by passing to the
right of such center line where it enters the intersection and after entering
the intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection to
the right of the centerline of the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable
the left turn shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the left of
the center of the intersection.
C. Left Turns on Other than Two-way Roadways. At any
intersection where traffic is restricted to one direction on one or more of the
roadways, the driver of a vehicle intending to turn left at any such
intersection shall approach the intersection in the extreme left-hand lane
lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of such vehicle
and after entering the intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave
the intersection, as nearly as practicable in the left-hand lane lawfully
available to traffic moving in such direction upon the roadway being entered.
