§ 6.06.630. Required position and method of turning at intersections or driveways.
When the driver of a vehicle intends to turn at an intersection or driveway:
(1)
When the turn is a right turn both the approach for the right turn and the right turn shall be made as closely as practicable to the right-hand side of the roadway as hereinafter set forth. Right turns must be made from the right-hand traffic lane except vehicles parked in the right-handed parking lane may turn right after yielding to traffic turning right from the right-hand traffic lane;
(2)
Where both the intersecting highways are two-directional, the approach for a left turn shall be made in that portion of the right half of the highway nearest the centerline thereof or the center left turn lane, and after entering the intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection to the right of the centerline but in the traffic lane nearest the centerline or the center left turn lane of the highway being entered; and in all cases, except where otherwise directed by official traffic control devices, simultaneous left turns by opposing traffic shall be made in front of each other;
(3)
When the turn is a left turn from a two-directional highway into a one-way highway, the approach for a left turn shall be made in that portion of the right half of the highway nearest the centerline thereof or the center left turn lane and the turn shall be made by turning from the right of such centerline or the center left turn lane where it enters the intersection as close as practicable to the left-hand curb of the one-way highway;
(4)
When making a left turn from a one-way highway into a two-directional highway, such turn shall be made by passing to the right of the centerline but in the traffic lane nearest the centerline or the center left turn lane of the highway being entered upon leaving the intersection, and the approach of such turn shall be made as close as practicable to the left-hand curb of the one-way highway;
(5)
When making a left turn where both intersecting highways are one-way, both the approach for the left turn and the left turn shall be made as close as practicable to the left-hand curb or edge of the highway;
(6)
When the turn is a left turn from a two-directional highway into a driveway or alley, the approach for a left turn shall be made in that portion of the right half of the highway nearest the centerline thereof or the center left turn lane of the highway;
(7)
When the turn is a left turn from a one-way highway into a driveway or alley, the approach for the left turn shall be made as close as practicable to the left-hand curb or edge of the highway;
(8)
When the driver of a vehicle exiting an alley or drive intends to turn right the approach for the right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand side of the alley and completed as close as practicable to the right-hand side of the roadway;
(9)
When the driver of a vehicle exiting an alley or drive intends to turn left the approach for the left turn shall be made as close as practicable to the center of the alley or drive and completed to the right of the centerline but in the traffic lane nearest the centerline of the highway being entered.
