Ch. 5 · Driving Method

Which is the correct method for turning right from a one-way road? This excludes the two-stage right turn for general mopeds.

[Multiple choice · Medium]

Answer: C: Move to the right edge of the road and proceed inside the center of the intersection at a stop-ready speed

Explanation

Section 2(3) of the Rules of the Road states: "When turning right from a one-way road, you must move to the right edge of the road and proceed inside the center of the intersection while slowing down to a stop-ready speed." On one-way roads, unlike regular right turns, you need to move to the right edge of the road.

Turning right is the same everywhere, right? Just move to the center and go around?

Not on a one-way road. You move to the right edge and then proceed inside the center of the intersection at a stop-ready speed. That's the correct method.

The right edge? That feels weird!

It does at first, but it makes sense—on a one-way street, traffic only flows one direction, so the right edge is safest for your turn.
