A shared left turning lane is a lane found in the center of a two-way road that is used exclusively for left turn movements and may be used by vehicles traveling either direction down the roadway. It is NOT a traffic lane nor should it be used for passing.

When making a left turn you should turn from the lane nearest the center line or a dedicated turn lane and into?

When turning onto a road with two or more lanes you should turn into the nearest lane. If the road you are turning from has two lanes marked for turning left there will usually be broken lane lines through the turn to show the lanes you should stay in. If they are worn away the furthest lane left turns into the nearest lane and the second lane from the left turns into the second lane from the left of the road you are turning onto. Once on the new road and it is clear you can start changing lanes. Its a bad idea to change lanes during the turn as if there is an accident you could be ticketed for an unsafe lane change

On a two way four lane street which lane should you use to make a left turn?

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.

What is a legal U-turn?

A legal U-turn is one that is not prohibited. Many streets have signs indicating that U-turns are not allowed, often posted in left hand turn lanes. In some traffic patterns, a specific U-turn lane or place has been provided in the median, often to eliminate the need for left hand turns. A "Michigan left" is used in that state to indicate a place where you turn right, and then do a U-turn in the lanes provided.
