Turning onto a two lane road.

When turning (right or left) onto a two lane road, a motorist should always proceed into the lane closest to them. In other words, when turning right, for example, turn into the right-most lane of the road, then make a signalled lane change, if necessary. This allows more traffic approaching the intersection from both directions to turn during a green light. It’s up to the city/Region to ensure that lights further up the road be timed in a way that prevents a backup of traffic.
