When driving on a one-way street, where on the roadway should you position yourself to turn left?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To make a left turn, the vehicle's position depends on the direction of traffic flow. On one-way streets, you must position yourself next to the left edge of the roadway. Since there is no oncoming traffic, this position is the safest and most efficient, allowing vehicles continuing straight to overtake or pass you on the right. If it were a two-way street, you would then need to position yourself next to the center line or axis of the roadway without invading the opposite lane.
