In what lane should you drive if you intend to make a right turn?

Close to the left of the roadway.
Close to the right hand side of the roadway.
Close to the centerline of the roadway.
Does not matter.

The correct answer is: Close to the right hand side of the roadway.

When preparing to make a right turn, it is essential to position your vehicle close to the right-hand side of the roadway. This positioning allows for safer maneuvering into the turn and aligns with traffic regulations that promote orderly driving behavior. Being near the right side ensures that you're in the correct lane for turning, reducing the risk of collisions with vehicles traveling straight through the intersection. It also provides better visibility for both the driver and any pedestrians or cyclists who may be crossing the road. Moreover, remaining close to the right side helps other drivers anticipate your intentions, as they expect vehicles preparing to turn right to be in that lane. This understanding is crucial for maintaining a smooth flow of traffic and ensuring that everyone on the road can react appropriately to your actions.
