    Hi guys,

    Is there a general traffic rule or law about inner lanes MUST take a U-TURN or does it have to have a sign that says INNERMOST LANE MUST TAKE U-TURN?

    The street is a 3-laner.

    Thanks

    if it is not forbidden, it is allowed.
    if it is not specifically ordered, it may not be performed.
    what does the road signage say?

    but there are rules on common sense. while one may not get a ticket for not following these common sense rules, one may still get a fender bender.

    Not sure about the law on these things but in general I keep to the center lane until a few hundred meters when I need to turn to avoid getting a ticket. Then I merge into the right lane.

    No such thing unless a traffic sign instructs it.

    There are intersections with signs that say "left lane must turn left" and if you are in this lane and you go straight you will get a ticket. On u-turn slots i have not seen one that says "this lane MUST take a u-turn" but at the 2 u-turn slots between muñoz market and sm north i have seen cars ticketed for being in those lanes then going straight even though there are no signages to warn drivers.

    Why, did you get a ticket?

    Most of the time, not always, road arrows tells you what you're allowed or not allowed to do on a lane.



    These signs, of course, are self-explanatory. If you wiggle out of it at the last moment, you will get apprehended.
