TWO-WAY LEFT HAND TURN LANES (TWLTL)
(as provided for in Section 33)
The purpose of the Two Way Left-Hand Turn Lane (TWLTL) is to provide for left hand turns at
mid-block driveways.
The TWLTL area is marked on the shoulder by signage as indicated and by pavement markings,
being two solid yellow lines on the outside of the traffic lane, and two yellow dotted lines on the
inside.
The proper usage of the TWLTL is to enter the traffic lane at the closest point where the actual left
turn is to be made, being certain that your vehicle is appropriately and fully into the traffic lane,
and that another vehicle coming from the opposite direction has not already occupied the TWLTL.

Page 52 of 81
SCHEDULE "J" continued
TWO-WAY LEFT HAND TURN LANES (TWLTL)
(as provided for in Section 33)
Improper use of the TWLTL would include the following examples:
a)
Improperly approaching the TWLTL by making angle turns, thus leaving the back end of
turning vehicles partially in the adjacent through traffic lane.
b)
Entering the TWLTL too far in advance of the point where the left turn is actually made,
thereby conflicting with on-coming traffic making their left turn.
c)
Use of the TWLTL for many blocks to pass slower vehicles before making a left-turn
movement.
d)
Under-utilization of the TWLTL by turning left from a regular through traffic lane.
e)
Not using the TWLTL appropriately for deceleration, but stopping almost completely in
the through traffic before pulling into the TWLTL to make the left turn.
