First Day in IN.

[pyzik]

Well today was my first day here in IN. The left turn lanes are nothing new to us Michiganders, we have them everywhere. But, I think we use them a little different then ya'll. Of course we use them to wait to turn left into parking lots and side streets. But we also use them to turn left out of parking lots or side streets and wait for traffic to clear to merge. I got honked at today for doing that.

Also, can you turn left on red if it is a one-way street? That's how we roll.

Thanks all.

Pyzik,

Welcome to Hoosierville (ie. Indiana)!

Regarding turning onto one (1) way streets I believe that is a no-no here in Fort Wayne. At one point they did allow it, but then you had stupid people causing accidents and so it was revoked.

I always use middle lanes that are marked w/ left & right arrows to merge either into traffic or to get out of traffics way to turn into a parking lot. However, you have stupid people that do not understand this. Ignore them! I do.

Regards,

Doug

You can turn left on red onto a one way street if your coming off of a one way street. Unless there is a sign that says no turn on red.

You can turn left on red onto a one way street if your coming off of a one way street. Unless there is a sign that says no turn on red.

Most people don't know that though.

A friend of mine got a ticket a few years ago, in Indianapolis, for doing just that. She lost in traffic court, too. I think what she reported back when I asked was "Judge said that the cop wrote the ticket, it must be good."

Probably that jerk judge who'd fine people the max every time they contested and lost...which was always.

Hmmm... That really sucks. Here is the relevant passage from the BMV manual. Seems pretty clear:

You may turn left through an intersection with a red light if you are
turning from a one-way street to a one-way street. You must also come to a full
stop, check to make sure that there are no vehicles or pedestrians in the path of
your turn or about to enter the path of your turn, and use the correct lanes.
