Check your blind spot if you are changing lanes. Sometimes it helps to know if you are planning on turning right or left next so you don't have to switch lanes later

I do not believe that is is lawful to change lanes in the middle of an intersection in any state in the US, regardless of the circumstances.If you are 'stacked up' in a turn lane PRIOR to the intersection, you may pull out and move into the travelled lane, unless the turn lane is separated from the main travelled roadway by a solid white stripe. THEN, you must complete theturning maneuver to which you have committed yourself.
Yes, unless there are multiple designated U-Turn lanes for an intersection or freeway. (of course if they are not permitted, you don't period.) :D
it goes in a circle. one way goes, then the one too the left and then the one to its left and so on. all lanes go in one way. i forgot to say that.
Any turn going left from any of the right lanes is an illegal turn. However, if you signal into any of the two left lanes (assuming the white lines are dashed and not solid), you can make a legal left turn from any of the two left turn lanes. Treat it like a four-laned intersection without the street lights and without a lane going straight. You must turn into your lane accordingly.
Right to left as the swimmer stands facing the course.
There are a couple of ways, and it all depends on how many other cars are waiting at the intersection. If I approach the intersection, it's a road with one lane going each direction and there's no one there, I get all the way over in the far left edge of my lane. I watch my trailer tandems as I enter the intersection, and when I get them within five feet or so of the corner, I start turning. If I get a road with two lanes going each direction I do the same thing but it doesn't matter so much who's at the intersection. If there's someone there, I do a "button hook" turn--wait until the tractor's drive wheels get to the corner, then turn left, then right. If things are really tight, there's a far easier way. Drive PAST the intersection and make three left turns--lefts are always easier than rights, because you've got more room to do them.
A broken white line has two purposes. For a channelized left turn lanes, it separates lanes traveling in the same direction. In a two-way left turn lane, it separates two southbound lanes and two northbound lanes.
Although surrounding states prohibit lane changes within intersections, it is actually LEGAL to change lanes in an intersection in the state of Texas... Folks often mistakenly quote the TTC §545.056 as the source of this rule, but this deals with driving or PASSING via the left of the roadway prior to and at an intersection, not lane changes within unidirectional traffic that do not counter-flow and still maintain the correct flow of traffic. It may not be considered safe, but it is LEGAL! Individual Texas cities certainly have the authority to put their own laws into place prohibiting this, but as far as the state is concerned, so long as it can be done safely, it is not illegal.Previous Answer:It's illegal to change lanes in an intersection in every state I have ever driven in. Canada too. Oh yea, and Germany
depends on what state but in VA you can, but you cant in New York Another View: Unless you are at an intersection that is signed with a "no right turn on red" sign the maneuver is lawful. You just must be cautious when entering the flow of traffic turning left ffrom the opposing cross street.
