The center lane is a lane that is commonly seen in cities. I have seen it outside of cities too. This lane is used by both directions of travel for that highway. When you enter this lane you should have 2 solid yellow lines with a dotted yellow line facing the inside of the lane on both sides of your car. There is also 2 left turn painted white arrows opposing each other. The center lane is not a travel lane, thus is cannot be used to pass another vehicle. This lane is also not a divide for the highway, the highway is still undivided.

On a two lane road with a center lane, the center lane is used for left turns going either direction. If on a 4 lane road with a center divider then the left lane is where you should be, unless there is a left turn pocket at the intersection. If on a two lane road with no center lane then you execute the left turn from the forward travel lane that you are in. In all cases be certain to use your turn indicators to let those following you know of your intentions.

The center turn lane is for turning left only. It is NOT used for passing, merging, making right turns, or for traveling more than 50 feet before turning left.
