Which car has the right of way when a vehicle makes a left turn to enter a parking lot?
In Washington State... You will notice that all freeway on ramps have a posted speed limit lower than the freeeway speed limit. When merging onto a freeway, the merger does not have the right of way and must yield to faster oncomming traffic. Now, it's different if you are driving on a road with two lanes where both lanes flow traffic in the same direction. If a two lane highway merges down to one lane the person in the merging lane has the right of way if their vehicle is ahead of you where the two lanes form one. This reply is confusing. The merger (or accelleration) lane is intended for vehicles to get up to the speed of traffic. Although you do have to yield when you enter traffic, you should be able to slip into traffic if you are up to speed. One of the most common reasons people have to stop driving on the freeway is because they can't comfortably speed up to the posted speed limit and still find a gap to enter traffic. The same is true with exiting the freeway. Enter the exit ramp at highway speeds and slow down after you are on the deceleration ramp. Freeways are intended to run smoothly and that is why you should use the ramps to gain speed and to slow down.

What does it mean When you see a yellow X lane signal?
prepare to leave the lane safely Explanation: Lane signals are used: -When the direction of the flow of traffic changes during the day. -To show that a toll booth is open or closed. -To show which lanes are opened or closed. You must never drive in a lane under a red X. A yellow X means that your lane signal is going to change to red. Prepare to leave the lane safely. You may drive in lanes beneath the green arrow, but you must also obey all other signs and signals.
What is traffic lane?
This is highly dependent on what kind of roadway you are on, and where you are driving. On two-lane highways in the US, the oncoming traffic lane is used for passing. Most states allow this type of passing outside of urban areas where it is not specifically prohibited. On three-lane highways in the US (not common anymore), the center lane is used for passing but is subject to restrictions (yield to uphill traffic, etc.). On four lane highways which are not freeways, most states allow passing only in the left lane in your direction. On freeways with a center divider and multiple lanes in your direction, most states recommend passing in the left lane but permit it in any lane. Some states do not allow passing on the right. A center lane which is a two-way left turn lane may never be used for passing in nearly all states. A shoulder lane may be used to pass a stopped vehicle when it is safe to do so in most states. There are lots of exceptions to the Uniform Vehicle Code.

What is double broken white lines in traffic?
If you're asking in reference to America, the broken white lines are typically seen on any multiple lane road, highway, and freeway. These lines separate traffic lanes, going in a single direction on either side. It's okay to cross between lanes so long as the line is not solid, as many times as you like using proper signaling. Happy safe driving...

When driving on a 3 way lane freeway you should know that?
If there are 3 lanes on your side of the freeway, the right-hand lane is there for vehicles to merge onto the freeway and it is the place for slower moving vehicles to drive; such as big rigs or cars towing anything. The lane in the middle is the passing lane for slow moving traffic, and it is the lane for primary travel of other than slow moving vehicles. The lane to the far left is for passing only, except when designated for specific use, like a carpool lane.
