TWO-WAY LEFT TURN LANE MARKINGS

Many two-way undivided roads in urbanized areas have a center lane that is for shared use by vehicles making left turns in both directions. This type of special lane is called a Two-Way Left-Turn Lane. Both sides of the Two-Way Left Turn Lane are marked with a double line consisting of a SOLID YELLOW line and BROKEN (dashed) YELLOW line. The SOLID line is closest to the adjacent travel lane, while the BROKEN (dashed) line is closest to the Two-Way Left-Turn Lane. [MUTCD Section 3B.03]
