Since few cars are usually parked along the cemetery side of the street, the parking lane is usually used for right turns and through traffic when cars are waiting to make a left turn which keeps traffic moving. If the Metropolitan Avenue turn is banned as proposed, that would have to be formalized with parking banned for at least several hundred feet before the intersection of Cooper and Metropolitan, otherwise traffic will not move.Yes, it would. I would have to check the driver's manual, but that's what I remember. That when making a left turn from the left lane, you must enter the left most lane if there is more than one lane. Similarly, when making a right turn from the right most lane, you are also required to enter the rightmost lane. Big trucks often cannot comply and therefore do not. It is certainly not optimal to create more situations where this would occur. Driver's manual or not, the law says it isn't illegal. I think it's obvious that if it's physically impossible for a truck to turn into the leftmost lane on an otherwise legal turn that it would have to do so anyway. I agree it isn't optimal (nor is it practical if that's a heavy truck movement), but it is possible. |
