The driver of any vehicle intending to turn upon a highway shall do so as follows:

(1) Right Turns. The approach for a right-hand turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the highway.

(2) Left Turns. The approach for a left turn shall be made as close as practicable to the left-hand edge of the extreme left-hand lane or portion of the highway lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of the vehicle and, when turning at an intersection, the left turn shall not be made before entering the intersection. After entering the intersection, the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection in a lane lawfully available to traffic moving in that direction upon the highway being entered, except that upon a highway having three marked lanes for traffic moving in one direction that terminates at an intersecting highway accommodating traffic in both directions, the driver of a vehicle in the middle lane may turn left into any lane lawfully available to traffic moving in that direction upon the highway being entered.

Commentary: This provision is generally based on California Vehicle Code Section 22100. If there is any conflict between this provision and the California Vehicle Code, this code shall supersede the California Vehicle Code.
