Ch. 8 · Motorcycles

Which of the following is correct regarding a general moped making a two-stage right turn at an intersection with three or more traffic lanes that is controlled by a traffic light?

[Multiple choice · Hard]

Answer: C: Proceed straight to the far side of the intersection, stop at that point, and turn to face right

Explanation

The Rules of the Road state regarding two-stage right turns that "proceed straight to the far side of the intersection while driving slowly on a green light, stop at that point, and turn to face right." It also clearly states that "in such cases, you cannot turn right following a green arrow signal."

If there's a green arrow, I can just turn right normally, can't I?

Nope — mopeds at big intersections have to do a two-stage turn. You go straight through first, stop on the far side, then turn to face right.

Wait, so even a green arrow doesn't let me turn?

Right. Green arrows don't apply to moped two-stage turns — straight first, then reposition.
