Turning Right to Go Home

Turning right across a single solid white pavement line marking is generally illegal and substantially dangerous. However, there is a major exception to the right-turn across this pavement line marking. Allowed to go home! Yes, turning into a driveway and/or a facility such as a shopping complex while executing a right- turn across a solid white pavement line marking (shoulder of road) is not only legal but also necessary.

Caution: Occasionally joggers such as seen in picture #14- 16 above who don’t follow the opposite direction traffic law and/or a bicyclist properly using the bicycle lane identified by the single solid white pavement line marking create an additional hazard.
