SECTION � SIGNS, SIGNALS & MARKINGS -

Turn lanes
These lanes, bordered by solid yellow and/or broken yellow lines, is in the
center of many streets and highways to make left turns. A motorist desiring
to tum left should proceed to the tum lane just prior to making a left tum.
Georgia law prohibits the use of this lane for any purpose other than making
a left tum. You may enter this lane no more than 300 feet from the location
of the left tum.
When a turning lane is provided for vehicles traveling in both directions,
you should use extreme caution before entering the turning lane to make
a left tum. There may be a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction also
entering the turning lane to make a left tum. This is especially problematic
in congested areas.
Bicycle Lanes
These are solid white lines typically located between the farthest right traffic
lane and the curb or edge of the roadway. If there is a right-tum-only lane
present, the bicycle lane will be located to the left of the right-tum-only
lane in order to safely accommodate bicycles traveling straight through the
intersection. Bicycle lanes may also be marked with painted symbols of a
bicycle. Drivers of motor vehicles are prohibited from driving or parking in
the bicycle lane, except to cross over it to make a turn. When crossing over a
bicycle lane to make a tum, motorists must yield to bicyclists that are present.
