If you are turning left from a one way street onto another one way street, you can make a left on red. However, they must both be one way streets.
You can turn left from either lane so long as you continue into the current lane you are in. As in if you are in the right lane, you must turn left and stay in the furthest right lane. And vise versa.
Added: CAUTION - not all states allow left hand turns on red under the circumstances described in the question - unless allowed by posted sign or appropriate traffic signal display.
You would turn from the lane furthest to the left. The only exception to this may be in the case of a tractor-trailer which wouldn't have enough room to make the turn from the appropriate lane, due to trailer offtracking. They might have to make the turn from another lane, but would still be liable if this move were to cause an accident.
When turning left from a three lane, one-way street, you should turn from the
Left most lane or as the road signs indicate.
left lane only

There are only two times when you may pass to the right of another vehicle: on a two-lane road when the vehicle you are passing is about to turn left and on a highway with at least two lanes of traffic moving in the same direction.
Yes, when driving on the highway you should always drive in the right lane pass on the left and move back to the right lane when clear. However, on some highways there are more than 3, 4, 5, 6 lanes in both directions. So it depends on what highway and how the lanes are marked.
if no signs forbid passing on the rightPassing on the right is permitted only whenit is safe and:• The driver of the other vehicle is making aleft turn (never pass to the left of a driverwho has signaled a left turn).• An open highway is clearly marked fortwo or more lanes of vehicles moving inthe same direction as you are going.• You are in a business or residentialdistrict where the pavement is wideenough for two or more lanes of vehiclesmoving in the direction you are going.• You must never pass on the right bydriving off the paved or main portion ofthe roadway.
Drivers from either direction may use the center lane for left turns.
Every time you turn left or right, or switch lanes on a highway you should use your turn signal in your car.
I have court soon for "Failure to Yield to Stationary Emergency Vehicle". I have read the Virginia law section 46.2-921.1 I was mainly wondering what constitutes a 4 lane highway as stated in that section. "on a highway having at least four lanes, at least two of which are intended for traffic proceeding as the approaching vehicle, proceed with caution and, if reasonable, with due regard for safety and traffic conditions, yield the right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the stationary vehicle" Let me first explain the road I was driving on was 3 lanes, a median, then three lanes in the opposite direction. Is this a 6 lane road? or a 3 lane? I would also like to know if a turning lane counts as the 4th lane, if the road is only 3 lanes.
trucks are not as maneuverable as passenger vehicles
A multi-lane highway is a road with several lanes for traffic. Our motorways usually have 3 lanes which tend to be called the "slow" the "middle" and the "fast" lane, but these names are incorrect, although the slower traffic should keep to the "left" lane, whilst the other two lanes are "overtaking" lanes to enable faster vehicles to get on their way. Some highways in North America have as many as 8 lanes. Not the sort of road to be dithering as to which lane you should be in. A difference with American super highways is that drivers can pass other vehicles on the right or the left side.
On urban surface roadways - with two adjacent travel lanes you may pass on the right if the vehicle traffic in the left lane is moving slaower than you are. Which is NOT TO SAY that it is permissible to cut in-and-out of traffic to further your progress.
The fast lane is typically the leftmost lane on a multi-lane highway or freeway.
No passing by traffic travelling in your same direction.
