Two way left turn lane — Arizona Permit Test
Two way left turn lane on the Arizona permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
A two-way left turn lane is only for vehicles turning left in either direction.
Cars from both ways use this lane to turn. Driving along it to get ahead meets them nose to nose.
This lane is only for use of vehicles turning left in either direction.
A two-way left turn lane is bordered on either side by two yellow lines: the inner line broken and the outer line solid.
Knowing the marking lets you tell this lane from a lane you may drive in. It is not for through traffic.
This lane is bordered on either side by two yellow lines – the inner line is broken, the outer line is solid.
Do not use the two-way left turn lane for passing, for thru traffic, or to speed up to merge with thru traffic.
A driver turning left from the other way may be sitting in that lane. Passing through it hits them head on.
Do not use the two-way left turn lane for passing, for thru traffic or to accelerate in order to merge with thru traffic.

How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
