The idea being tested is how roads manage left turns without slowing down through traffic. A center left-turn lane is a dedicated, shared lane in the middle of the road that both directions can use to queue for a left turn. This design lets turning vehicles move out of the through lanes, reducing delays and conflicts with oncoming traffic. When you’re approaching a turn, signal, move into this center lane only if you’re within the block where you plan to turn, and wait for a safe gap in opposing traffic to complete the left turn. After turning, merge back into the through lane.

Other options don’t fit the scenario: a bus lane is reserved for buses, a bike lane is for cyclists, and a shoulder is not intended for regular driving or left turns.
